Subject: watchdog: imx2_wdt: restore previous timeout after suspend+resume
From: Martin Kaiser <martin@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 0be267255cef64e1c58475baa7b25568355a3816 upstream.
When the watchdog device is suspended, its timeout is set to the maximum
value. During resume, the previously set timeout should be restored.
This does not work at the moment.
The suspend function calls
imx2_wdt_set_timeout(wdog, IMX2_WDT_MAX_TIME);
and resume reverts this by calling
imx2_wdt_set_timeout(wdog, wdog->timeout);
However, imx2_wdt_set_timeout() updates wdog->timeout. Therefore,
wdog->timeout is set to IMX2_WDT_MAX_TIME when we enter the resume
function.
Fix this by adding a new function __imx2_wdt_set_timeout() which
only updates the hardware settings. imx2_wdt_set_timeout() now calls
__imx2_wdt_set_timeout() and then saves the new timeout to
wdog->timeout.
During suspend, we call __imx2_wdt_set_timeout() directly so that
wdog->timeout won't be updated and we can restore the previous value
during resume. This approach makes wdog->timeout different from the
actual setting in the hardware which is usually not a good thing.
However, the two differ only while we're suspended and no kernel code is
running, so it should be ok in this case.
