On Spreadtrum platform, we use one PMIC watchdog to reset the whole system with loading one suitable timeout value (usually 50ms) for the watchdog. In theory, we should implement the restart function in drivers/power/reset subsystem to access the PMIC watchdog with regmap. When restart the system, other cores will be stopped by IPI, but if other cores were accessing PMIC with holding the regmap mutex lock, that will cause dead-lock issue if we try to access the PMIC watchdog with regmap to restart the whole system. Thus we can implement the restart function in ADI driver to avoid this issue. Signed-off-by: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
