Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] Suspending i.MX watchdog in WAIT mode
Date:   Fri,  4 Nov 2022 08:03:55 +0100

The i.MX6 watchdog can't be stopped once started. Additionally, watchdog
hardware configuration needs to be able to handle low-power modes of the
SoC. For low-power modes, there are two configuration bits in the TRM:
- WDZST bit disables the watchdog timer in "deeper" low power modes and
- WDW bit disables the watchdog timer in "WAIT" mode

WDZST bit support is already in place since 1a9c5efa576e ("watchdog: imx2_wdt: disable watchdog timer during low power mode").
On the other hand, handling of WDZST bit was omitted so far but now
these patch series bring support for it.

SoC's "WAIT" low-power mode corresponds to Linux's freeze or
Suspend-to-Idle (S0) mode which can be activated with:

$ echo freeze > /sys/power/state

Without these patches, board would be reset by the watchdog after
timeout of 128 seconds since watchdog would not be stopped when SoC
entered Suspend-to-Idle mode. With patches in place, boards using
imx2-wdt are able to stay in Suspend-to-Idle mode indefinitely.

Last but not least, WDW bit is not found on all imx2-wdt supported i.MX
devices, therefore a new device-tree property "fsl,suspend-in-wait" has
been introduced for this.
