Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] watchdog: dw_wdt: Try to get a 30 second watchdog by default
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 15:27:16 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1422314836-30516-2-git-send-email-dianders@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1422314836-30516-1-git-send-email-dianders@chromium.org>
The dw_wdt_set_top() function takes in a value in seconds. In
dw_wdt_open() we were calling it with a value that's supposed to
represent the maximum value programmed into the "top" register with a
comment saying that we were trying to set the watchdog to its maximum
value. Instead we ended up setting the watchdog to ~15 seconds.
Let's fix this. However, setting things to the "max" gives me an 86
second watchdog in the system I'm looking at. 86 seconds feels a
little too long. We'll explicitly choose 30 seconds as a more
reasonable value.
NOTE: Ideally this driver should be transitioned to be a real watchdog
driver. Then we could use "watchdog_init_timeout" and let the timeout
be specified in a number of ways (device tree, module parameter, etc).
This patch should be considered a bit of a stopgap solution.
