RE: [PATCH 2/2] watchdog: imx_sc: Add pretimeout support

From: Anson Huang
Date: Sat Apr 27 2019 - 23:30:01 EST


Hi, Shawn
As patch 1/2 is an independent patch to improve the imx_scu_irq_group_enable() API, so I sent out V2 independently with some commit message improved, please help review, thanks.
Hi, Guenter
I addressed your comments in V2 patch series, please help review, thanks.

Anson.
