[PATCH] watchdog: qcom: Avoid context switch in restart handler

From: Manivannan Sadhasivam
Date: Mon Dec 07 2020 - 01:01:41 EST


The use of msleep() in the restart handler will cause scheduler to
induce a context switch which is not desirable. This generates below
warning on SDX55 when WDT is the only available restart source:

Hence, replace msleep() with mdelay() to fix this issue.
