According to reference manual, the i.MX7ULP WDOG's operations should
follow below sequence:
1. disable global interrupts;
2. unlock the wdog and wait unlock bit set;
3. reconfigure the wdog and wait for reconfiguration bit set;
4. enabel global interrupts.
Strictly follow the recommended sequence can make it more robust.

Changes since V1:
- use readl_poll_timeout_atomic() instead of usleep_ranges() since IRQ is disabled.

When kernel idle, system will enter wait/stop mode, wdog should continue
running in this scenario, and the refresh thread can wake up system from
wait/stop mode.

I am not a friend of WARN_ON, especially in situations like this.
Please explain why this is needed, and why a return of -ETIMEDOUT
is not feasible.
Also, I do not believe that a 10 milli-second timeout is warranted.
This will need to be backed up by the datasheet.

OK, I will use return value of -ETIMEOUT and handle it in the caller.

There is no such info provided in reference manual or datasheet, but I just did
an experiment, the unlock window is open in less than 1us after sending unlock command,
and ONLY last for ONLY 2~3 us then close, the reconfiguration status bit will be set in less than
1us after register write. So what do you recommend for this timeout value? 100mS for safe?

After a further look, some of the imx7ulp_wdt_wait () callers are void function, so if want
to handle the return value, all those functions return type need to be changed. And, when
the return value is -ETIMEDOUT, the ONLY action is to print out some error message
for these void function, need to use pr_err() due to no dev pointer available, so
do you think it is acceptable to just replace the WARN_ON with pr_err() as below?
+ if (!(val & mask)) {
+ if (readl_poll_timeout_atomic(base + WDOG_CS, val,
+ val & mask, 0,
+ WDOG_WAIT_TIMEOUT))
+ pr_err("wdog wait timeout, mask 0x%x\n", mask);
+ }

That would be even worse. You say yourself that the window is only open for a few
microseconds. Now you are suggesting to hold the entire system hostage for up to
100 mS if the code misses that window for some reason. Based on what you said,
100 uS might be barely acceptable. 10-20 uS would be reasonable. But not 100 mS.

OK, I will use 20us.

First, the point here is that the callers can't do their work if the function times
out. So, if the return value isn't necessary, and callers don't need to check it,
the function would not be necessary to start with. If it is necessary, and if there
is a concern that it can fail, callers should make sure that it actually succeeded.
With that in mind, yes, imx7ulp_wdt_init() should fail and return an error,
because presumably that is what happened. The same is true for imx7ulp_wdt_enable().
Really, what is the point of detecting a problem just to ignore it ?
Second, the wait function is also called _after_ a register was set. In many cases
that won't do any good or bad. While it is ok to ignore the error in that case
(when nothing else is done), the error message is pointless in that situation.

Understood, then I will change those void caller functions to int type, and return error
if timeout. And maybe some 'goto' will be added, since whenever error happen, it
has to go to enable local irq then return.

OK, for the RCS bit check, I will just ignore the return value check, similar with the
clk_disable_unprepare(), nothing can be done for such scenario.

Per reference manual (section 59.5.4), the waits are not required here,
and neither is the unlock. For practical purposes, disabling interrupts
is useless as well since the refresh write operation is just a single
register write.

Correct, the example in reference manual does NOT have this flow for refresh, but
I checked with our design team yestoday, their validation code indeed has this flow,
that is why I added it for refresh operation as well.
I will do a test on our EVK board, and if it works without this flow, I will remove them
In V3.

If it is needed, they'll need to update the manual. Urgently.
Really, missing the information that the watchdog must be unlocked
in order to refresh the timer would not just be be a minor flaw
in the manual. Either it is needed and must be mentioned (because
the watchdog would otherwise simply not work), or it isn't needed
and should not be done.

Previously, the guy I checked the refresh flow is validation guy and looks like his answer
is NOT accurate, and I just checked with the SoC design owner, and he confirmed that the
refresh does NOT need unlock operation.
I will drop the sequence for refresh operation in V3.

Hi Anson,
As we talked in IM, wdg unlock and refresh are two different operations, and they don’t impact each other. So you can refresh wdg without unlocking it.
