The following information should have been the part of the cover letter: ``` This series spans 2 subsystems and is split as follows: - Patch 1: QCOM SCM - Register Gunyah Watchdog Platform device - Patch 2: Watchdog - Add Gunyah Watchdog driver Dependency: There is no build-time dependency between the patches, but Patch 1 is required for Patch 2 to function. Merge strategies: - Strategy 1: Take both patches via the Watchdog tree. - Strategy 2: Take Patch 1 via QCM SCM maintainter's tree, Patch 2 via Watchdog tree. Since the patches concern primarily with the Watchdog, I suggest we go ahead with Strategy 1. If this is acceptable, I request an Acked-by from QCOM SCM maintainer for Patch 1. ``` I understand that this should have been a part of the cover letter. If it helps the process, I can add the above information in the cover letter and resend as v9. Since there are no other fixes, v9 would only contain the cover letter changes. Thanks, Hrishabh
