[PATCH v3 0/4] watchdog: mt7621-wdt: avoid globals and arch dependencies

From: Sergio Paracuellos
Date: Fri Feb 10 2023 - 12:38:52 EST


Hi all,

This series make an update in the MT7621 SoC's watchdog driver code. This
SoC already provides a system controller node to access reset status
register needed for the watchdog. Instead of using MIPS architecture
dependent operations in header 'asm/mach-ralink/ralink_regs.h' use
a phandle to the system controller node and use it through regmap APIs
from the code. Driver is also using some globals that are not needed at
all if a driver data structure is used along the code. Hence, add all
new needed stuff inside a new driver data structure. With this changes
driver can be properly compile tested.

Thanks in advance for reviewing this!

V1 of this series here [0].
V2 os thise series here [1].

Changes in v3:
- rename phandler from 'ralink,sysctl' into 'mediatek,sysctl'.
- Drop error message added in PATHC 3 that modifies functionality and we
only want to maintain current functionaloty by now.

Changes in v2:
- Remove no needed compatible 'syscon' from bindings.
- Rewrite new syscon phandle description in bindings.
- Remove 'syscon' from compatible in 'mt7621.dtsi'.
- Split PATCH 3 into two different patches:
- PATCH 3: removes static globals using a driver data structure.
- PATCH 4: remove ralink architecture dependent includes and code.

Best regards,
Sergio Paracuellos
