Subject: [PATCH 1/5] watchdog: dw_wdt: move reset control deassertion before register access
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:56:18 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320135624.223863-2-a.shimko.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320135624.223863-1-a.shimko.dev@gmail.com>
The watchdog controller must be taken out of reset before any register
access is attempted. Currently reset_control_deassert() is called after
dw_wdt_update_mode() which performs register read/write operations. If
the reset line is asserted, accessing registers may result in undefined
behavior or bus hangs.
Move reset_control_deassert() before dw_wdt_update_mode() to ensure the
controller is properly deasserted before the first register access. The
reset_control_assert() in the error path remains to properly revert the
reset state on probe failure.
Fixes: 46a1946314bf ("watchdog: dw_wdt: Add pre-timeouts support")
