[PATCH v2] arm64: dts: mt8173-oak: Switch to SMC watchdog
Posted by Pin-yen Lin 2 years, 1 month ago
Switch to SMC watchdog because we need direct control of HW watchdog
registers from kernel. The corresponding firmware was uploaded in
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/3405.

Signed-off-by: Pin-yen Lin <treapking@chromium.org>
---

Changes in v2:
- Move the modifications to mt8173-elm.dtsi and add some comments.

Unfortunately, we're not quite there yet.
The comment is fine, but...

There's no need to /delete-node/: you can just do it like

/*
  * Disable the original MMIO watch dog and switch to the SMC watchdog,
  * which operates on the same MMIO.
  */
&watchdog {
	status = "disabled";
};

and...

> +

This isn't addressable, hence it belongs to the root node, not to soc.
If you did that because of naming issues, I would propose to call it
smc-watchdog instead of watchdog.

P.S.: No timeout-sec?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll modify it accordingly in v3.

> P.S.: No timeout-sec?

The example in the binding file has a timeout-sec property, but it is
not defined in the binding nor used in the driver...
The driver seems to talk with the firmware to get a timeout value[1]
instead of reading it from the devicetree.

Oh. I admit I trusted the binding blindly, didn't check the actual driver code.

On a note, we should check why is that binding partially wrong and eventually
fix it (remove the property), or add the capability to the driver, but feel free
to ignore that for now, as this is not relevant for the context of this specific
change that you're trying to do here.

P.S.: I just noticed that the commit title is also wrong. s/mt8173-oak/mt8173-elm/g

Waiting for a v3!

It looks like the timeout-sec property was not defined nor referenced
from the very first commit [2][3]. I'll send out another patch to
remove it.

I sent out the v3 before I saw this reply.  I'll send out a v4 for
this and address Krzysztof's comment as well.

I checked the drivers again, and I realized that the `timeout-sec`
property overrides the default timeout from the firmware.

But for MT8173 chromebooks, I think we can just leave it blank and use
the default value.
