    Subject[PATCHv2 2/5] watchdog: add support for adjusting last known HW keepalive time
    Date
    Certain watchdogs require the watchdog only to be pinged within a
    specific time window, pinging too early or too late cause the watchdog
    to fire. In cases where this sort of watchdog has been started before
    kernel comes up, we must adjust the watchdog keepalive window to match
    the actually running timer, so add a new driver API for this purpose.
