+	  This is the driver for the hardware watchdog component on the
+	  Winbond SMsC37B787 chipset as used on the NetRunner Mainboard
+	  from Vision Systems and maybe others.
+
+	  This watchdog simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't
+	  freeze, and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain
+	  amount of time.
+
+	  Usually a userspace daemon will notify the kernel WDT driver that
+	  userspace is still alive, at regular intervals.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called smsc37b787_wdt.
