Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: cpwd: Clarify wd*_timeout parameters
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 08:21:10 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250819025159.6292-2-viswanathiyyappan@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250819025159.6292-1-viswanathiyyappan@gmail.com>
Reword "in 1/10secs" to "in units of 100 ms" in MODULE_PARAM_DESC
and the corresponding documentation to avoid misinterpretation of
the fractional notation.
