[Robert Lin]

From: robelin <robelin@nvidia.com>

This set of patches includes a fix for watchdog for it may not bark
due to self-pinging and adds WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT support.

--
V6:
- Fix timeleft value addition using unmatched time unit
- Use u64 type to maintain the microseconds value in case of overflow

V5:
- Print warning message if get unexpected value from the register

V4:
- Improve the precision of timeleft value
- Fix the unused variable warning

V3:
- Improve comment description
- Refactor to fit codeline within 80 columns
- Remove unused if(0) blocks


V2:
- Fix a compilation error, a warning and updates copyright

[PATCH v6 1/3] clocksource/drivers/timer-tegra186: add WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT support

[Robert Lin]

From: Pohsun Su <pohsuns@nvidia.com>

This change adds support for WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT so userspace
programs can get the number of seconds before system reset by
the watchdog timer via ioctl.

There is a problem with the indent here ...

No newline needed here, the comment can fit on a single line ...

There should be a newline here.

I am always a bit concerned about possible overflows that can be 
silently missed. So probably best to make 'timeleft' a u64 too and then ...

  timeleft = (timeleft_us + USEC_PER_SEC / 2) / USEC_PER_SEC;

  if (WARN_ON(timeleft > U32_MAX))
          return U32_MAX;

  return lower_32_bits(timeleft);

[PATCH v6 2/3] clocksource/drivers/timer-tegra186: fix watchdog self-pinging

[Robert Lin]

From: Pohsun Su <pohsuns@nvidia.com>

This change removes watchdog self-pinging behavior.

The timer irq handler is triggered due to the 1st expiration,
the handler disables and enables watchdog but also implicitly
clears the expiration count so the count can only be 0 or 1.

Since this watchdog supports opened, configured, or pinged by
systemd, We remove this behavior or the watchdog may not bark
when systemd crashes since the 5th expiration never comes.
