Putting device into the "Suspend-To-Idle" mode causes watchdog to
trigger and reset the board after set watchdog timeout period elapses.

Introduce new device-tree property "fsl,suspend-in-wait" which suspends
watchdog in WAIT mode. This is done by setting WDW bit in WCR
(Watchdog Control Register) Watchdog operation is restored after exiting
WAIT mode as expected. WAIT mode coresponds with Linux's
"Suspend-To-Idle".

Changes in v2:
- validate the property with compatible string, as this functionality
is not supported by all devices.

So the models listed in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/watchdog/fsl-imx-
wdt.yaml not supporting this feature are
* fsl,imx21-wdt
* fsl,imx27-wdt
* fsl,imx31-wdt
* fsl,ls1012a-wdt
* fsl,ls1043a-wdt
?

yes, you are correct.

But all models are listed as compatible to fsl,imx21-wdt. So there is
something wrong here. IMHO this sounds like the compatible list has to be
split and updated. Depending on that this feature can be detected.
Maintaining another list seems error prone to me.

So basically the compatible lists would be split into two groups, one
for the devices which support this WDW bit and the rest which don't
support this?

This was my idea, so only one set has to be maintained.

You got a point here, but...this means that every processors
device-tree, which has two compatible strings (with "fsl,imx21-wdt")
should be updated, right? That sounds like quite a lot of changes, which
I'd like to avoid if possible.

Well, the compatible list right now doesn't reflect the hardware features/
compatibility correctly, so IMHO it should be fixed.
But apparently Krzysztof is okay having the special property only applicable
for a specific set of devices. But in this case you will have to maintain two
sets of device models (bindings + driver) to which WDW applies/does not apply
to.

Ok, lets see what @Krzysztof has to say about this.

Best regards,
Andrej
