Sorry to get into the conversation, but I got interested into the SBSA watchdog driver recently, and looked at the status of its merge in the kernel. I've looked at Fu Wei's v9 from November which I believe is the latest version, and then looked at Vladimir's generic pretimeout patch set. Vladimir, do you plan to rework the SBSA watchdog driver on top of your pretimeout patch series ? Or do Fu Wei intends do it ? Alternatively, as suggested by Wim and Guenter, submitting an initial version without pretimeout support would be a good thing. Are you, or Fu, interested in doing this, or should I work at updating Fu's patches in this direction ?
