Subject: [PATCH v6 2/4] clocksource/drivers/timer-vt8500: Prepare for watchdog functionality
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 22:55:09 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112-vt8500-timer-updates-v6-2-fd1cea645d1f@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112-vt8500-timer-updates-v6-0-fd1cea645d1f@gmail.com>

VIA/WonderMedia system timer can generate a watchdog reset when its
clocksource counter matches the value in the match register 0 and
watchdog function is enabled. For this to work, obviously the clock event
device must use a different match register (1~3) and respective interrupt.

Check if at least two interrupts are provided by the device tree, then use
match register 1 for system clock events and reserve match register 0 for
the watchdog. Keep match register 0 for clock events on device trees that
list a single interrupt, and offer no watchdog there.

Instantiate the watchdog as an auxiliary device of the timer from a
platform driver bound to the timer node, as the timer itself comes up too
early to have a struct device. Share what the watchdog needs through a new
header, include/clocksource/vt8500-timer.h.

Unmap the registers if the timer interrupt is missing, so that no watchdog
gets created on a timer whose counter never started.
