Deprecate the 1-bit flag (bit 2 in the SLI_SCRATCH_1 Octeon register) that indicates that the liquidio watchdog kernel thread is running for this NIC. Reason is: it is incompatible with the firmware's use for SLI_SCRATCH_1. In lieu of checking that now-deprecated flag, check the value of oct_dev->adapter_refcount to determine whether or not to create the watchdog kernel thread.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
