Subject: [PATCH 1/2] watchdog: sama5d4: fix shared IRQ and hardcoded timeout issues
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 18:05:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604010542.23177-2-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604010542.23177-1-rosenp@gmail.com>
Fix three pre-existing issues in the sama5d4 watchdog driver:
1. Unsafe IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_NO_SUSPEND combination: The watchdog
interrupt is a dedicated peripheral line, not shared with other
devices. Drop IRQF_SHARED to avoid the documented unsafe interaction
where IRQF_NO_SUSPEND keeps the line enabled during suspend while
other sharing devices may be powered down.
2. Unconditional IRQ_HANDLED on shared line: The handler returned
IRQ_HANDLED even when the status register indicated no watchdog
interrupt was pending. Return IRQ_NONE in that case so the kernel
can properly detect spurious interrupts on the line.
3. Hardcoded 16-second timeout: sama5d4_wdt_init() unconditionally
used WDT_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT (16s) for the hardware timeout, ignoring
any timeout configured via device tree (watchdog_init_timeout) or
userspace. Pass wdd->timeout to sama5d4_wdt_init() so the
configured timeout is honored during probe and resume.
