Gunyah is a Type-I hypervisor which was introduced in the patch series
[1]. It is an open source hypervisor. The source repo is available at
[2].

The Gunyah Hypervisor doesn't allow its Virtual Machines to directly
access the MMIO watchdog. It either provides the fully emulated MMIO
based watchdog interface or the SMC-based watchdog interface depending
on the hypervisor configuration.
The SMC-based watchdog follows ARM's SMC Calling Convention (SMCCC)
version 1.1 and uses Vendor Specific Hypervisor Service Calls space.

This patch series adds support for the SMC-based watchdog interface
provided by the Gunyah Hypervisor. The driver supports start/stop
operations, timeout and pretimeout configuration, pretimeout interrupt
handling and system restart via watchdog.

This series is tested on SM8750 platform.

Would this driver work on older platforms like SM8550 & SM8650 ?

Thanks,
Neil
