+ AAEON embeds a microcontroller on Standard RISC Gateway with ARM i.MX8M Plus
+ Quad-Core boards providing GPIO control and watchdog timer.
+
+ This MCU is connected via I2C bus.
+
+ Its GPIO controller provides 7 GPOs and 12 GPIOs.
+
+ Its watchdog has a fixed maximum hardware heartbeat of 25 seconds and supports
+ a timeout of 240 seconds through automatic pinging.
+ The timeout is not programmable and cannot be changed via device tree properties.

Add Multi-Function Device (MFD) driver for the Aaeon SRG-IMX8P
embedded controller. This driver provides the core I2C communication
interface and registers child devices (GPIO and watchdog controllers).
The driver implements a custom regmap bus over I2C to match the MCU's
fixed 3-byte command format [opcode, arg, value]. Register addresses
are encoded as 16-bit values (opcode << 8 | arg) using the
AAEON_MCU_REG() macro defined in the shared header. The regmap
instance is shared with child drivers via dev_get_regmap(). Concurrent
I2C accesses from child drivers are serialized by regmap's built-in
locking.
I2C transfers use heap-allocated DMA-safe buffers rather than
stack-allocated ones, as required by I2C controllers that perform DMA.
Regmap caching is enabled (REGCACHE_MAPLE) with a volatile_reg
callback that marks GPIO input read registers (opcode 0x72) and the
watchdog status register (opcode 0x63, arg 0x02) as volatile. All
other registers written by the driver (GPIO direction,
GPO state, watchdog control) are stable and can be safely cached.

Add GPIO driver for the Aaeon SRG-IMX8P embedded controller. This
driver supports 7 GPO (General Purpose Output) pins and 12 GPIO pins
that can be configured as inputs or outputs.
The driver implements proper state management for GPO pins (which are
output-only) and full direction control for GPIO pins. During probe,
all pins are reset to a known state (GPOs low, GPIOs as inputs) to
prevent undefined behavior across system reboots, as the MCU does not
reset GPIO states on soft reboot.

Add watchdog driver for the Aaeon SRG-IMX8P embedded controller.
This driver provides system monitoring and recovery capabilities
through the MCU's watchdog timer.
The watchdog supports start, stop, and ping operations with a maximum
hardware heartbeat of 25 seconds and a default timeout of 240 seconds.

Odd, unusual, unnecessary, I would argue that most people would consider a fixed
timeout of 240s as anything but reasonable, and as the comment says arbitrary.
Since I am sure that I pointed this out before, you still insist, and I am
tired of arguing: Your funeral, so

Sashiko has some interesting feedback that might be worth looking into.
