At least on commercial devices like some smartphones, the bootloader will initialize the SoC watchdog and set it to reboot the board when it times out. The last pet that this watchdog is getting is right before booting the kernel and left it enabled as a protection against boot failure: this means that Linux is expected to initialize this device and pet as soon as possible, or it will bark and reset the AP. In order to prevent that, add the required watchdog node as default enabled: this will have no side effects on boards that are not performing the aforementioned watchdog setup before booting Linux.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
