Subject: R: [PATCH 1/3] watchdog: qcom-wdt: add option to skip pretimeout

If something like this is used, msm-timer require interrupts. Without this
configuration, the device is unbootable as the system froze on system
bootup.

timer@...a000 {
			compatible = "qcom,kpss-timer", "qcom,msm-timer";
			interrupts = <GIC_PPI 1 (GIC_CPU_MASK_SIMPLE(2) |
						 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING)>,
				     <GIC_PPI 2 (GIC_CPU_MASK_SIMPLE(2) |
						 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING)>,
				     <GIC_PPI 3 (GIC_CPU_MASK_SIMPLE(2) |
						 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING)>,
				     <GIC_PPI 4 (GIC_CPU_MASK_SIMPLE(2) |
						 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING)>,
				     <GIC_PPI 5 (GIC_CPU_MASK_SIMPLE(2) |
						 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING)>;
			no-pretimeout;
			reg = <0x0200a000 0x100>;
			clock-frequency = <25000000>,
					  <32768>;
			clocks = <&sleep_clk>;
			clock-names = "sleep";
			cpu-offset = <0x80000>;
		};
