none of the watchdog drivers have entries there, including softdog's soft_panic. watchdog-parameters.rst has no section for octeon-wdt at all, so its existing heartbeat, nowayout and disable parameters are not documented either. I can add an octeon_wdt section there covering all four parameters, either in a v2 of this patch or as a separate patch, whichever you prefer. =20 Carl=
