Unlike some other devices, the SBSA watchdog does not need assistance to reset on a timeout -- it is a "fire and forget" device. What happens if there is a hard lockup, and interrupts no longer work? Keep in mind that 99% of watchdog daemons will not enable the pre-timeout feature because it's new. -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
