Subject: watchdog: gpio_wdt: Add "always_running" feature to GPIO watchdog
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ba804a9510df555c42c2be6c340960879afe39d2;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

watchdog: gpio_wdt: Add "always_running" feature to GPIO watchdog

On some chips, like the TPS386000, the trigger cannot be disabled
and the CPU must keep toggling the line at all times. Add a switch
"always_running" to keep toggling the GPIO line regardless of the
state of the soft part of the watchdog. The "armed" member keeps
track of whether a timeout must also cause a reset.
