It feels like a debugging feature that doesn't really sorry, are you saying : using pre-timeout instead of this half timeout? But even we have pre-timeout support, pre-timeout == timeout / 2, it can not be configured without touch timeout. if you want pre-timeout != timeout / 2, we have to modify WCV in the interrupt routine. (because of the explicit watchdog refresh mechanism) Could you let me know why we need pre-timeout here ?? :-) > belong upstream.

I think this debugging feature is the purpose of the two-stage watchdog, if I understand correctly -- Best regards, Fu Wei Software Engineer Red Hat Software (Beijing) Co.,Ltd.Shanghai Branch Ph: +86 21 61221326(direct) Ph: +86 186 2020 4684 (mobile) Room 1512, Regus One Corporate Avenue,Level 15, One Corporate Avenue,222 Hubin Road,Huangpu District, Shanghai,China 200021 -- 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
