This adds watchdog disable. It is neccessary for running Linux kernel.
Why do we not enable WDT in Linux instead ? Also, I recall there was a call to explicitly enable the L4 watchdog, so why do we not get rid of that instead ?
Booting linux kernel without watchdog support should be valid operation.
If you watchdog is enabled, then not so much. Also, why can we not just disable the WDT in U-Boot instead using a config option ?
It seems that watchdog is enabled by default (by hardware or SPL), so yes, watchdog disable operation (and this patch) in u-boot is a good idea.
OK.
