True, see the changes on the manpage.

Yes, that was the one watchdog that followed the sample in the Elan
specific code correctly. At first I didn't have the interface change in
and that meant changing mk48txx.c and I missed that afterwards I changed

Is there a manual for man page writing? I've not done much of that yet.
