[PATCH 3/8] dt-bindings: watchdog: Add AAEON embedded controller watchdog binding

Thomas Perrot (Schneider Electric)
2025-12-12T07:41:33Z

Add device tree binding documentation for the watchdog timer functionality
provided by the AAEON embedded controller. The watchdog has a maximum
hardware heartbeat of 25 seconds and supports a timeout of up to 240
seconds through automatic pinging.

The watchdog is defined as a child node of the AAEON MCU device.

+description: |
+ Watchdog timer functionality provided by the AAEON embedded controller.
+ The 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.
+
+ The watchdog is a sub-device of the AAEON MCU and must be defined as a
+ child node of the MCU device.
