Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: atcwdt200: fix return value when watchdog is enabled
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 22:07:06 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722163706.14238-1-kr494167@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Surendra Singh Chouhan <kr494167@gmail.com>
atcwdt_get_int_timer_type() returned TMR_UNKNOWN (enum value 3) when
CTRL_WDT_EN was set in the control register.
Because atcwdt_probe() checks "ret = atcwdt_get_int_timer_type(drv_data);
if (ret) return ret;", returning TMR_UNKNOWN caused probe() to return 3
instead of a valid negative error code.
Fix this by setting drv_data->int_timer_type to TMR_UNKNOWN and returning
-EBUSY via dev_err_probe() when the watchdog is already enabled.
Fixes: e4e0848ad046 ("watchdog: atcwdt200: Add driver for Andes ATCWDT200")
