Beaglebone watchdog spamming dmesg

[relghuar]

Hello, I tried to activate watchdog on my beaglebone. It's working fine (restarts the board after 60 seconds of inactivity), problem is it fills dmesg log with lots of annoying messages:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

There's always 9 of them every 5 seconds (I have 10 second tick interval in watchdog.conf), so the kernel log output is fairly useless and it fills system logs very quickly.
I found very little recent info about this other than it should have been fixed long time ago. Best fix a came across is the patch at the end of this thread http://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/791/t/194467.aspx, though I haven't tried it yet. If I can confirm it works with current core/linux-am33x from archlinuxarm github repo (or come up with something that works), would it be possible to patch it there?

Hi again,
I can confirm the patch I've linked to yesterday really works. When it's applied as the last patch in linux-am33x PKGBUILD kernel package can be built automatically, resulting watchdog still reboots the machine correctly and the annoying spam in dmesg is gone.
Would it be possible to include this patch in github repo? I can provide a full diff against current repository if it helps...

You don't need to do that,
https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs
pull it (whole repo), modify your bits on your github, commit, push it.
Don't forget to do md5 and package release
