As &wdt->lock is acquired by hard irq s3c2410wdt_irq(),
other acquisition of the same lock under process context should
disable irq, otherwise deadlock could happen if the

on the same CPU.

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock, which reported the above
warning when analyzing the linux kernel 6.4-rc7 release.
The tentative patch fix the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irqsave()
under process context.

I am sure you know what you changed in each version of your patches. I don't.
Please provide change logs when you send new versions of your patches.
