Sorry, I should add more detail.

It doesn't necessarily bypass the watchdog core. It can, if you specify 
reset-type="none". But if not, the watchdog will still fire at the 
appropriate time.

The purpose is to get a stack dump from a kernel panic rather than a 
hard reset from the watchdog. The interrupt will fire a certain number 
of microseconds (configurable by dts property) before the watchdog does. 
The interrupt handler then panics, and all the CPU stacks are dumped, so 
hopefully you can catch where another processor was stuck.


I can submit v2 with this information in the commit message and/or comments.

Thanks,

Eddie
