A few issues about sprd watchdog driver were found recently, this
patchset would fix them.

Lingling Xu (3):
  watchdog: sprd: should not disable watchdog in resume
  watchdog: sprd: change timeout value from 1000 to 2000
  watchdog: sprd: check busy bit before kick watchdog

This is a bit misleading: It is only disabled if the attempt to start it
has failed. Was this observed in practice ? If so, it might make sense
to identify and fix the underlying problem instead of trying to work
around it (or is this addressed with the second patch of the series ?)

Anyway, the patch itself is fine.

That is a key functional change: So far the code checked if a value
was accepted after loading it. That is no longer the case. Effectively,
with this change, the _next_ operation will now check if the previous
operation was accepted. Is this intentional ?

Also, does this really solve a problem, or is it just an optimization ?
By checking for busy prior to an operation instead of after it the only
real difference is that the busy check will most likely succeed immediately
because enough time has passed since the last write.

Ultimately it is your call how you want to handle this, but I think the
impact should be spelled out.

Yes, the busy bit indicates whether the previous operation is done, so
we have to make sure the last loading completed (the busy bit is not
set) before new loading.

The spec says that this bit is set after a new loading, and would last
2 or 3 RTC clock cycles.

Ok, I will add more details in the commit message.

Many thanks for the review!

Yes, I think the root cause of this problem was like what I explained
in the 3rd patch in this series.
Lingling found there was something wrong in sprd_wdt_pm_resume() when
debugging that issue, then we had this patch.
