+Subject: watchdog: core: add restart handler support
+
+Many watchdog drivers implement the same code to register a restart
+handler. This patch provides a generic way to set such a function.
+
+The patch adds a new restart watchdog operation. If a restart priority
+greater than 0 is needed, the driver can call
+watchdog_set_restart_priority to set it.

+Subject: watchdog: core: add reboot notifier support
+
+Many watchdog drivers register a reboot notifier in order to stop the
+watchdog on system reboot. Thus we can factorize this code in the
+watchdog core.
+
+For that purpose, a new notifier block is added in watchdog_device for
+internal use only, as well as a new watchdog_stop_on_reboot helper
+function.
+
+If this helper is called, watchdog core registers the related notifier
+block and will stop the watchdog when SYS_HALT or SYS_DOWN is received.
+
+Since this operation can be critical on some platforms, abort the device
+registration if the reboot notifier registration fails.

+
+We need few sysfs attributes to know different status of a watchdog device.
+To do that, we need to associate .dev_groups with watchdog_class. So
+convert it from pointer to static.
+Putting this static struct in watchdog_dev.c, so that static device

+Subject: watchdog: Read device status through sysfs attributes
+
+This patch adds following attributes to watchdog device's sysfs interface
+to read its different status.
+
+* state - reads whether device is active or not
+* identity - reads Watchdog device's identity string.
+* timeout - reads current timeout.
+* timeleft - reads timeleft before watchdog generates a reset
+* bootstatus - reads status of the watchdog device at boot
+* status - reads watchdog device's internal status bits
+* nowayout - reads whether nowayout feature was set or not
+
+Testing with iTCO_wdt:
+ # cd /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog1/
+ # ls
+bootstatus dev device identity nowayout power state
+subsystem timeleft timeout uevent
+ # cat identity
+iTCO_wdt
+ # cat timeout
+30
+ # cat state
+inactive
+ # echo > /dev/watchdog1
+ # cat timeleft
+26
+ # cat state
+active
+ # cat bootstatus
+0
+ # cat nowayout
+0

+Subject: watchdog: Create watchdog device in watchdog_dev.c
+
+The watchdog character device is currently created in watchdog_dev.c,
+and the watchdog device in watchdog_core.c. This results in
+cross-dependencies, since device creation needs to know the watchdog
+character device number as well as the watchdog class, both of which
+reside in watchdog_dev.c.
+
+Create the watchdog device in watchdog_dev.c to simplify the code.
+
+Inspired by earlier patch set from Damien Riegel.

+Subject: watchdog: Separate and maintain variables based on variable lifetime
+
+All variables required by the watchdog core to manage a watchdog are
+currently stored in struct watchdog_device. The lifetime of those
+variables is determined by the watchdog driver. However, the lifetime
+of variables used by the watchdog core differs from the lifetime of
+struct watchdog_device. To remedy this situation, watchdog drivers
+can implement ref and unref callbacks, to be used by the watchdog
+core to lock struct watchdog_device in memory.
+
+While this solves the immediate problem, it depends on watchdog drivers
+to actually implement the ref/unref callbacks. This is error prone,
+often not implemented in the first place, or not implemented correctly.
+
+To solve the problem without requiring driver support, split the variables
+in struct watchdog_device into two data structures - one for variables
+associated with the watchdog driver, one for variables associated with
+the watchdog core. With this approach, the watchdog core can keep track
+of its variable lifetime and no longer depends on ref/unref callbacks
+in the driver. As a side effect, some of the variables originally in
+struct watchdog_driver are now private to the watchdog core and no longer
+visible in watchdog drivers.
+
+As a side effect of the changes made, an ioctl will now always fail
+with -ENODEV after a watchdog device was unregistered with the character
+device still open. Previously, it would only fail with -ENODEV in some
+situations. Also, ioctl operations are now atomic from driver perspective.
+With this change, it is now guaranteed that the driver will not unregister
+a watchdog between a timeout change and the subsequent ping.
+
+The 'ref' and 'unref' callbacks in struct watchdog_driver are no longer
+used and marked as deprecated.

+-If the watchdog_device struct is dynamically allocated, just locking the module
+-is not enough and a driver also needs to define the ref and unref operations to
+-ensure the structure holding the watchdog_device does not go away.
+-
+-The simplest (and usually sufficient) implementation of this is to:
+-1) Add a kref struct to the same structure which is holding the watchdog_device
+-2) Define a release callback for the kref which frees the struct holding both
+-3) Call kref_init on this kref *before* calling watchdog_register_device()
+-4) Define a ref operation calling kref_get on this kref
+-5) Define a unref operation calling kref_put on this kref
+-6) When it is time to cleanup:
+- * Do not kfree() the struct holding both, the last kref_put will do this!
+- * *After* calling watchdog_unregister_device() call kref_put on the kref
+-
+ Some operations are mandatory and some are optional. The mandatory operations
+ are:
+ * start: this is a pointer to the routine that starts the watchdog timer

+ * get_timeleft: this routines returns the time that's left before a reset.
+ * restart: this routine restarts the machine. It returns 0 on success or a
+ negative errno code for failure.
+-* ref: the operation that calls kref_get on the kref of a dynamically
+- allocated watchdog_device struct.
+-* unref: the operation that calls kref_put on the kref of a dynamically
+- allocated watchdog_device struct.
+ * ioctl: if this routine is present then it will be called first before we do
+ our own internal ioctl call handling. This routine should return -ENOIOCTLCMD
+ if a command is not supported. The parameters that are passed to the ioctl
+ call are: watchdog_device, cmd and arg.
+
++The 'ref' and 'unref' operations are no longer used and deprecated.
++
+ The status bits should (preferably) be set with the set_bit and clear_bit alike
+ bit-operations. The status bits that are defined are:
+ * WDOG_ACTIVE: this status bit indicates whether or not a watchdog timer device
+ is active or not. When the watchdog is active after booting, then you should
+ set this status bit (Note: when you register the watchdog timer device with
+ this bit set, then opening /dev/watchdog will skip the start operation)
+-* WDOG_DEV_OPEN: this status bit shows whether or not the watchdog device
+- was opened via /dev/watchdog.
+- (This bit should only be used by the WatchDog Timer Driver Core).
+-* WDOG_ALLOW_RELEASE: this bit stores whether or not the magic close character
+- has been sent (so that we can support the magic close feature).
+- (This bit should only be used by the WatchDog Timer Driver Core).
+ * WDOG_NO_WAY_OUT: this bit stores the nowayout setting for the watchdog.
+ If this bit is set then the watchdog timer will not be able to stop.
+-* WDOG_UNREGISTERED: this bit gets set by the WatchDog Timer Driver Core
+- after calling watchdog_unregister_device, and then checked before calling
+- any watchdog_ops, so that you can be sure that no operations (other then
+- unref) will get called after unregister, even if userspace still holds a
+- reference to /dev/watchdog

+Subject: watchdog: qcom: add option for standalone watchdog not in timer block
+
+Commit 0dfd582e026a ("watchdog: qcom: use timer devicetree
+binding") moved to use the watchdog as a subset timer
+register block. Some devices have the watchdog completely
+standalone with slightly different register offsets as
+well so let's account for the differences here.
+
+The existing "kpss-standalone" compatible string doesn't
+make it entirely clear exactly what the device is so
+rename to "kpss-wdt" to reflect watchdog timer
+functionality. Also update ipq4019 DTS with an SoC
+specific compatible.

+
+For certain parts and some versions of TZ, TZ will reset the chip

-Subject: [PATCH 2/2] watchdog: qcom: set WDT_BARK_TIME register offset to one
- second less of bite time
-
-Currently WDT_BARK_TIME register offset is not configured with bark
-timeout during wdt_start,and it is taking bark timeout's default value.
-For some versions of TZ (secure mode) will consider a BARK the same
-as BITE and reset the board.
-
-So instead let's just configure the BARK time to be less than a second
-of the bite timeout so the board does not reset in this scenario
