[PATCH 0/2] arm64: dts: qcom: x1e80100: Enable APSS watchdog in EL2

[Abel Vesa]

On X1E80100 platforms, in EL2, the APSS watchdog is accessible.
The APSS WDT HW is compatible with the one from SC8280XP, SM8250 and the
like. So describe it in the EL2 overlay and document its compatible.

[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: watchdog: Document X1E80100 compatible

[Abel Vesa]

Document the compatible for the X1E80100 platform to the Qualcomm watchdog
binding. The HW implementation is compatible with the KPSS WDT.

[PATCH 2/2] arm64: dts: qcom: x1-el2: Add the APSS watchdog

[Abel Vesa]

The watchdog support in EL1 is SBSA compliant, handled by Gunyah
hypervisor, but in EL2. the watchdog is an instance of the APSS WDT HW
block, same as older platforms. So describe the APSS WDT node in the EL2
overlay.

For consistency with &pcie_smmu, I think it would be cleaner to put this
into hamoa.dtsi, mark it as status = "reserved"; and then enable it here
in the overlay. That way, we have a full hardware description in
hamoa.dtsi.

You should also be able to drop the interrupt-parent if you move it
there.

Thanks,
Stephan

Sounds like a good idea. Will do that in v2.

Yes. It will not be needed.
