> This patch series is a porposal to enhance the sam9 watchdog timer support.
>
> The at91sam9 watchdog timer cannot configured twice, and the current
> implementation only tries to configure in a static way:
> - 2 seconds timeout
> - wdt restart every 500ms
>
> If the timer has already been configured with different values, it returns an
> error and do not create any watchdog device.
>
> This is not critical if the watchdog is disabled, but if it has been enabled with
> different timeout values it will lead to a SoC reset.
>
> This patch series tries to address this issue by adapting the heartbeat value
> according the WDT timer config:
> - it first tries to configure the timer as requested.
> - if it fails it fallbacks to the current config, adapting its heartbeat timer
> to the needs
>
> This patch series also move to a dynamically allocated at91wdt device instead
> of the static instance. I'm not sure this is the best solution, so please tell
> me if you prefer to keep static instance of watchdog.
>
> It adds a new at91 wdt type: software. This new type make use of the at91 wdt
> interrupt to trigger a software watchdog.
>
> Finally it adds several properties to the device tree bindings.
