Thanks. On a related note, our system has need of a way to determine if
it's currently booted from the alternate chip or not. It seems the only
way to tell is to look at the ast2400/2500 watchdog timeout status
register. We can add some debugfs to the aspeed driver I guess, but I
wonder if this is a common enough situation that the watchdog core could
use some debugfs or sysfs for providing that info?

Thanks,
Eddie
