Hi,

Watchdog device available on RZ/G3S SoC is part of a software-controlled
power domain. The watchdog driver implements struct
watchdog_ops::restart() handler which is called in atomic context via
this call chain:

kernel_restart() ->
machine_restart() ->
do_kernel_restart() ->
atomic_notifier_call_chain() ->
watchdog_restart_notifier()
rzg2l_wdt_restart()

When the rzg2l_wdt_restart() is called it may happen that the watchdog
clocks to be disabled and the associated power domain to be off.
Accessing watchdog registers in this state leads to aborts and system
blocks.

To solve this issue the watchdog power domain was marked as IRQ safe
as well as watchdog device (as proposed by Ulf Hansson). Along with
it the clk_prepare_enable() calls from the watchdog restart() handler
were removed and all is based now on pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
as explained in patch 03/03.

Series contains also power domain driver changes to be able to
register the watchdog PM domain as an IRQ safe one.

Initial RFC series for solving this issue was posted at [1].

It is safe to merge watchdog and PM domain driver changes though
different trees.

Thank you,
Claudiu Beznea

Changes in v3:
- added patch "clk: renesas: rzg2l-cpg: Move PM domain power on in
rzg2l_cpg_pd_setup()"
- addressed review comments
- collected tags
- per-patch changes are listed in individual patches

Changes in v2:
- adjusted patch title for patch 02/03
- adjusted description for patch 03/03 along with comment
from code

Changes since RFC:
- dropped patches 01/03, 02/03 from RFC
- adjusted power domain driver to be able to register the
watchdog PM domain as an IRQ safe one
- drop clock prepare approach from watchdog driver presented in RFC
and rely only on pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
- mark the watchdog device as IRQ safe


Claudiu Beznea (4):
clk: renesas: rzg2l-cpg: Move PM domain power on in
rzg2l_cpg_pd_setup()
clk: renesas: rzg2l-cpg: Use GENPD_FLAG_* flags instead of local ones
clk: renesas: r9a08g045: Mark the watchdog and always-on PM domains as
IRQ safe
watchdog: rzg2l_wdt: Power on the watchdog domain in the restart
handler
