This patchset:
(1)Export "arch_timer_get_rate" in arm_arch_timer.c for the other drivers, like SBSA watchdog driver
(2)Introduce Documentation/devicetree/bindings/watchdog/sbsa-gwdt.txt for FDT info of SBSA Generic Watchdog, and give two examples of adding SBSA Generic Watchdog device node into the dts files: foundation-v8.dts and amd-seattle-soc.dtsi.
(3)Introduce "pretimeout" into the watchdog framework, and update Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt to introduce: (1)the new elements in the watchdog_device and watchdog_ops struct; (2)the new API "watchdog_init_timeouts".
(4)Introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver: a.Use linux kernel watchdog framework; b.Work with FDT on ARM64; c.Use "pretimeout" in watchdog framework; d.In first timeout(WS0), do panic to save system context; e.Support geting timeout and pretimeout from parameter and FDT at the driver init stage.
(5)Parse SBSA Generic Watchdog Structure in GTDT table of ACPI, and create a platform device with that information. This platform device can be used by This Watchdog driver.
This patchset has been tested with watchdog daemon (ACPI/FDT, module/build-in) on the following platforms: (1)ARM Foundation v8 model (2)AMD Seattle B0
Changelog: v2: Improve watchdog-kernel-api.txt documentation for pretimeout support. Export "arch_timer_get_rate" in arm_arch_timer.c. Add watchdog_init_timeouts API for pretimeout support in framework. Improve suspend and resume foundation in driver Improve timeout/pretimeout values init code in driver. Delete unnecessary items of the sbsa_gwdt struct and #define. Delete all unnecessary debug info in driver. Fix 64bit division bug. Use the arch_timer interface to get watchdog clock rate. Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for platform device id. Fix typoes.
v1: The first version upstream patchset to linux mailing list
