Subject: Watchdog settimeout causes an error condition

The new watchdog framework of settimeout causes an error condition for
the DA9052/53 PMIC since watchdog ping gets called upon applying the new
watchdog window and in the DA9052/53 PMIC we have a minimum time for the
watchdog window called TWDMIN. A write to the watchdog before this
elapsed time - TWDMIN - cause an error.

Can this be get fixed in the new framework?

Regards,
Ashish
