Hi Shmuel,

Thank you for the patch.

Since the driver is based on the linux driver, could you include a
commit HASH from linux on which this has been based.

An example commit in U-Boot:
commit 20f1383bad59 ("mtd: spi-nor: Call spi_nor_post_sfdp_fixups() only after spi_nor_parse_sfdp()")

Something alongs the lines of:

This driver is based on upstream linux commit:
<sha>(<"title">)

Could you fix that if you send another version?

Any reason for this to be named renesas_wdt_wriv (and not rwdt_priv like
done in the linux driver) ?

I'm asking this because having differences between upstream linux driver
and U-Boot driver makes long-term maintenance harder.

Same goes for this function, and all function prefixes. Why renesas_wdt_
instead of rwdt_ ?
Especially since in the previous function we used rwdt_wait_cycles().

Would it be possible to use the rwdt_ prefix everywhere so that the
driver is easier to compare with the linux driver?

If we go through this error path, &priv->clk stays enabled.
Shouldn't we disable it if the probe fails?

Linux driver seems to have:

	{ .compatible = "renesas,rcar-gen2-wdt", },
	{ .compatible = "renesas,rcar-gen3-wdt", },
	{ .compatible = "renesas,rcar-gen4-wdt", },

Any reason why the compatibles are different here?
