The above needs to be in the sysfs attribute documentation as well.

My apologies but I didn't find any suitable, only watchdog parameters with
dtbindings file, where should I put it? Documentation/watchdog/aspeed-wdt-
sysfs.rst?


Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-watchdog

This implies a specific watchdog numbering which is not guaranteed.
Someone might implement a system with some external watchdog.

Kind of odd that the attribute only exists if the system booted from the
second flash, but if that is what you want I won't object. Just make sure
that this is explained properly.
Perhaps dts configuration option would be better solution for it then? "force-
cs0-switch" as example? Also, if it would be an option, dtbindings/wdt file for

You said earlier that this can not be done automatically but _must_ be done
from user space after the system has booted. Otherwise you could just
automatically switch to cs0 when the driver probes.

As I said, all I am asking for is proper documentation.

Guenter

documentation will be the right place for it. Usage of this at side 0 will not
get any good/bad results, it just makes user confused, so I decided to put it
only at side 1. It works only for ast2400/2500 board unfortunately, for 2600
there is big difference in switching mechanism. Any other thoughts how to make
it better?

Thanks.
