[PATCH v4 0/5] watchdog: mt7621-wdt: avoid globals and arch dependencies

From: Sergio Paracuellos
Date: Sat Feb 11 2023 - 02:34:29 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].
v3 os thise series here [2].

Cahnges in v4:
- Add a patch to fix a watchdog node warning with 'make dtbs_check'
because of a wrong node name.
- Collect Guenter 'Reviewed-by' tags for watchdog driver code.
- Add a missing 'COMPILE_TEST' to Kconfig which was lost when driver
code was split in two patches in v2.

Changes in v3:
- rename phandler from 'ralink,sysctl' into 'mediatek,sysctl'.
- Drop error message added in PATCH 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
