Hi Wim,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I found some bugs in my patch series:
1) the secs_to_ticks returns an erronous value when 0 is passed as an
argument
2) the calculated heartbeat is too small for some use cases
(i.e. kexecing a new kernel might trigger a watchdog reset before
the new kernel
is able to load the watchdog driver)
3) when initializing the watchdog driver, the timer should be configured
with the min_heartbeat value
instead of the standard heartbeat value, because we don't for how
long the timer has been running.
I'll send a new patch fixing those issues.
I hope it won't bother you :-(.
Best Regards,
Boris

Hi Boris,
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
