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.
"

Thanks,
Anson
