[PATCH v3 0/6] Watchdog: introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver

[fu . wei]

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patchset:
    (1)Introduce Documentation/devicetree/bindings/watchdog/sbsa-gwdt.txt
    for FDT info of SBSA Generic Watchdog, and give two examples of
    adding SBSA Generic Watchdog device node into the dts files:
    foundation-v8.dts and amd-seattle-soc.dtsi.

    (2)Introduce "pretimeout" into the watchdog framework, and update
    Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt to introduce:
        (1)the new elements in the watchdog_device and watchdog_ops struct;
        (2)the new API "watchdog_init_timeouts".

    (3)Introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver:
        a.Use linux kernel watchdog framework;
        b.Work with FDT on ARM64;
        c.Use "pretimeout" in watchdog framework;
        d.In first timeout, do panic to save system context;
        e.Support getting timeout and pretimeout from parameter and FDT
          at the driver init stage.

    (4)Parse SBSA Generic Watchdog Structure in GTDT table of ACPI,
    and create a platform device with that information.
    This platform device can be used by This Watchdog driver.

This patchset has been tested with watchdog daemon
(ACPI/FDT, module/build-in) on the following platforms:
    (1)ARM Foundation v8 model
    (2)AMD Seattle B0

Changelog:
v3: Delete "export arch_timer_get_rate" patch.
    Driver back to use arch_timer_get_cntfrq.
    Improve watchdog_init_timeouts function and update relevant documentation.
    Improve watchdog_timeout_invalid and watchdog_pretimeout_invalid.
    Improve foundation-v8.dts: delete the unnecessary tag of device node.
    Remove "ARM64 || COMPILE_TEST" from Kconfig.
    Add comments in arch/arm64/kernel/acpi.c
    Fix typoes and incorrect comments.

v2: Improve watchdog-kernel-api.txt documentation for pretimeout support.
    Export "arch_timer_get_rate" in arm_arch_timer.c.
    Add watchdog_init_timeouts API for pretimeout support in framework.
    Improve suspend and resume foundation in driver
    Improve timeout/pretimeout values init code in driver.
    Delete unnecessary items of the sbsa_gwdt struct and #define.
    Delete all unnecessary debug info in driver.
    Fix 64bit division bug.
    Use the arch_timer interface to get watchdog clock rate.
    Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for platform device id.
    Fix typoes.

v1: The first version upstream patchset to linux mailing list.
