SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 6/7] Watchdog: introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver
From
Hi Timur,

Sorry, how do you trigger a panic if WS1 ties to reset ?? don't know
what is your question

could you make it simple:

1) calling panic() on pre-timeout (WS0????)
2) calling panic() on timeout (WS1????)

in "first version" , I just print the timeleft for WS1 or panic when
WS0 occurs.
