[PATCH] watchdog: allow WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_SEL=y
From: Dmitry Voytik
Date: Sun Oct 04 2026 - 17:38:24 EST
Fix the issue when WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_SEL can't be set to =y,
and always is =m.
The issues can be reproduced with the following steps:
make mrproper
make defconfig
./scripts/config \
-e WATCHDOG_CORE \
-e WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV \
-e WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_SEL \
--refresh
make olddefconfig
make mod2yesconfig
grep '=m$' .config
returns only CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_SEL as module:
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_SEL=m
"make menuconfig" doesn't let it to be switched from =m to =y either.
