Commit Message

Certain watchdogs require the watchdog only to be pinged within a
specific time window, pinging too early or too late cause the watchdog
to fire. In cases where this sort of watchdog has been started before
kernel comes up, we must adjust the watchdog keepalive window to match
the actually running timer, so add a new driver API for this purpose.

It doesn't adjust the ping period.

last_ping_ms needs to be documented (the last heartbeat was last_ping_ms
milliseconds ago ?), both here and in Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.rst.
It needs to be documented that the function must be called immediately
after watchdog registration, and that min_hw_heartbeat_ms must
be set for it to be useful.

This needs a NULL check, in case it is called before watchdog driver
registration.

Ok will fix all the above in next revision.
