+	---help---
+	  This is the driver for the hardware watchdog on the W83697UG/UF
+	  chipset as used in MSI Fuzzy CX700 VIA motherboards (and likely 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.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called w83697ug_wdt.
