SubjectRe: [PATCH v5 0/4] watchdog: at91sam9_wdt: handle already configured wdt
Hi Wim,

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I found some bugs in my patch series:

1) the secs_to_ticks returns an erronous value when 0 is passed as an
argument
2) the calculated heartbeat is too small for some use cases
(i.e. kexecing a new kernel might trigger a watchdog reset before
the new kernel
is able to load the watchdog driver)
3) when initializing the watchdog driver, the timer should be configured
with the min_heartbeat value
instead of the standard heartbeat value, because we don't for how
long the timer has been running.

I'll send a new patch fixing those issues.
I hope it won't bother you :-(.

Best Regards,

Boris
