[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2]: common: Add a watchdog CLI command

Simon Kagstrom simon.kagstrom at netinsight.net
Thu Oct 29 09:09:23 CET 2009


A watchdog command to enable the watchdog with a timeout from the CLI
can sometimes be useful. Add that. This also adds a common API for
enabling watchdogs. The API is simple:

        int watchdog_enable(unsigned int timeout);

the timeout range vary depending on hardware, and the driver should
return a negative value if the call failed.

ChangeLog:
 v2:
    * Passing zero as timeout is invalid (Prafulla)
    * Add return value from watchdog_enable(), negative means failure (Prafulla, Wolfgang)
    * Remove watchdog_disable() (Wolfgang)
    * Use weak default function for watchdog_enable() (Wolfgang)
    * Provide friendly and helpful printouts when invalid parameters are
      passed to the CLI command
