[RFC PATCH 1/4] watchdog: hpwdt: Don't disable watchdog on NMI

From: Ivan Mironov
Date: Sun Jan 13 2019 - 21:36:57 EST


Existing code disables watchdog on NMI right before completely hanging
the system.

There are two problems here:

* First, watchdog is expected to reset the system in a case of such
failure, no matter what.
* Second, this code has no effect if there are more than one watchdog.
