Commit Message

Linus Walleij Sept. 25, 2023, 7:20 a.m. UTC 
  The IXP4xx watchdog in early "A0" silicon is unreliable and
cannot be registered, however for some systems such as the
USRobotics USR8200 the watchdog is the only restart option,
so implement a "dummy" watchdog that can only support restart
in this case.

Fixes: 1aea522809e6 ("watchdog: ixp4xx: Implement restart")
Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
---
Other solutions like implementing a pure restart notifier
callback catch in the driver is possible, but this method
will minimize the amount of code and reuse infrastructure
in the core.

With this change this is no longer an error.
