Hello, This patch series is a porposal to enhance the sam9 watchdog timer support. The at91sam9 watchdog timer can only be configured once, and the current implementation tries to configure it in a static way: - 2 seconds timeout - wdt restart every 500ms If the timer has already been configured with different values, it returns an error and do not create any watchdog device. This is not critical if the watchdog is disabled, but if it has been enabled with different timeout values it will lead to a SoC reset. This patch series tries to address this issue by adapting the heartbeat value according the WDT timer config: - it first tries to configure the timer as requested. - if it fails it fallbacks to the current config, adapting its heartbeat timer to the needs This patch series also move to a dynamically allocated at91wdt device instead of the static instance. I'm not sure this is the best solution, so please tell me if you prefer to keep static instance of watchdog. It adds a new at91 wdt type: software. This new type make use of the at91 wdt interrupt to trigger a software reboot. Finally it adds several properties to the device tree bindings. Best Regards, Boris Changes since v4: - fix coding style issues - remove unneeded watchdog_active test Changes since v3: - fix a bug in heartbeat time computation - fix a bug in at91_wdt_set_timeout when new timeout is bigger than the old one - rename at91_wdt_ping into at91_wdt_start - remove unneeded ping callback assignment Changes since v2: - fix documentation - rework the heartbeat computation to get a more flexible behaviour - fix xx_to_yy macros - modify warning and error messages - remove unneeded parenthesis in arithmetic operations - use devm functions to map io memory - remove unneeded devm_kfree calls Change since v1: - fix typo in documentaion - fix irq dt definition for sama5d3 SoC Boris BREZILLON (4): watchdog: at91sam9_wdt: better watchdog support watchdog: at91sam9_wdt: update device tree doc ARM: at91/dt: add sam9 watchdog default options to SoCs ARM: at91/dt: add watchdog properties to kizbox board .../devicetree/bindings/watchdog/atmel-wdt.txt | 30 +- arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9260.dtsi | 5 + arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9263.dtsi | 5 + arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9g45.dtsi | 5 + arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9n12.dtsi | 5 + arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9x5.dtsi | 5 + arch/arm/boot/dts/kizbox.dts | 6 + arch/arm/boot/dts/sama5d3.dtsi | 5 + drivers/watchdog/at91sam9_wdt.c | 309 ++++++++++++++------ 9 files changed, 287 insertions(+), 88 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
