Package: linux-image-cloud-amd64
Version: 6.1.135-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: christian.lamparter@isd.uni-stuttgart.de

Dear Maintainer,

when working with linux-image-cloud-amd64's bullseye cousin,
I noticed that the watchdog dev (/dev/watchdog) was absent
from the VM and I'm unable to use the watchdog actions.

The OpenStack wiki says that only "i6300esb" makes sense:
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/LibvirtWatchdog>

"KVM has a choice of two watchdog devices, but in reality
only the PCI i6300esb device makes sense, since the alternative
is a legacy ISA bus device." (This hasn't changed since: Bug#1009350)

Looking through the provided modules files for the kernels

/usr/lib/modules/6.1.0-34-cloud-amd64/kernel/drivers/watchdog/

the available watchdog modules are:
mei_wdt.ko, ni903x_wdt.ko, nic7018_wdt.ko, pretimeout_noop.ko, pretimeout_panic.ko
softdog.ko, watchdog.ko, wdat_wdt.ko, wdt_pci.ko, xen_wdt.ko

Please just set the I6300ESB to module in the config:

| # CONFIG_I6300ESB_WDT is not set

Best Regards,
Christian Lamparter

This was changed for Trixie.  We don't consider this important enough
for an update to a Debian stable release.
