In Qualcomm IPQ SoCs, if the system is rebooted due to the watchdog
timeout, there is no way to identify it. Current approach of checking
the EXPIRED_STATUS in WDT_STS is not working.
To achieve this, if the system is rebooted due to watchdog timeout, the
information is captured in the IMEM by the bootloader (along with other
reason codes as well).
This series attempts to address this by adding the support to read the
IMEM and populate the information via bootstatus sysfs file.
With the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_SYSFS enabled, user can extract the information
as below:
cat
/sys/devices/platform/soc@0/f410000.watchdog/watchdog/watchdog0/bootstatus

Changes in v10:
- Rebased on next-20260407 tag
- Dropped the DTS patches from the series, so that both wdt changes can go
through the watchdog tree and once it is accepted, DTS patches will be
submitted
- Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260228-wdt_reset_reason-v9-0-f96d7a4825d3@oss.qualcomm.com
Changes in v9:
- Picked up the R-b tag for 1/5
- In 4/5, if fetching the boot status failed, just log the error instead
of exiting the probe
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260226-wdt_reset_reason-v8-0-011c3a8cb6ff@oss.qualcomm.com
Changes in v8:
- Collected the tags
- Updated the commit msg with reasoning in 1/5
- Updated the comment in 4/5
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260225-wdt_reset_reason-v7-0-65d5b7e3e1eb@oss.qualcomm.com
Changes in v7:
- Collected the tags
- Added the reference link in 1/5
- Added the flag 'no-memory-wc' in 2/5
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260130-wdt_reset_reason-v6-0-417ab789cd97@oss.qualcomm.com
Changes in v6:
- Moved the IMEM compatible from qcom,imem to sram binding
- Updated the 'sram' property in watchdog binding to point to SRAM
region and update the watchdog driver accordingly
- Dropped the Konrad's R-b tag in 2/5
Changes in v5:
- Rename property 'qcom,imem' to 'sram'
- Use dev_err_probe instead of dev_err
- Link to v4:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/20250519-wdt_reset_reason-v4-0-d59d21275c75@oss.qualcomm.com/
Changes in v4:
- Kept only the WDIOF_CARDRESET and dropped other codes (Guenter)
- Renamed qcom_wdt_get_restart_reason() to qcom_wdt_get_bootstatus()
- Dropped the device data and describe the required information in the
DT (Konrad)
- Link to v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/20250502-wdt_reset_reason-v3-0-b2dc7ace38ca@oss.qualcomm.com/
Changes in v3:
- Picked up the relevant tags
- Dropped the fallback compatible handling
- Split the driver changes into 2. Introduce the device data in one and
extend the same in another for the use case
- Link to v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/20250416-wdt_reset_reason-v2-0-c65bba312914@oss.qualcomm.com/
Changes in v2:
