The problems is that I do not see the bark abstraction in the watchdog_dev layer.I don't even know what "bark functionality" means. A new term for pretimeout ? Something else ?From my understanding the bark timeout is actually the pretimeoutwhereas the bite timeout is the actual timeout. I think in the Kernel ftwdt010_wdt and qcom-wdt are bark/bite WTDs
If that is the case, I would prefer if we could stick to existing terminology to avoid issues like "I do not see the bark abstraction". Thanks, Guenter
