SubjectRe: [PATCH] Revert "reset: microchip-sparx5: allow building as a module"
From
Date
Hi Michael,

Sorry, but most people have been OOO (including me), so this has delayed the response.

The protection bit protects the VCore Shared Bus (SBA) blocks shown on Figure 5-1. VCore System
Block Diagram in the Datasheet. So in this case also the watchdog (which is the WDT block).

I hope this clarifies the usage.

Best Regards
Steen
