sorry for my late reply. I hope we can take the opportunity of a new binding to
fix an old issue of the bcm2835-wdt driver. The watchdog driver sets the
pm_power_off callback without checking for "system-power-controller" property
[3]. As a result we can't use another poweroff controller like e.g.
gpio-poweroff. In downstream this has been workarounded by an additional
devicetree property for the gpio-poweroff driver [4]. But this isn't the right
way because the issue is in the bcm2835 watchdog driver not in all the other
reset controller.
Suggested pseudo code:
if (!pm_power_off) {
/* Preserve the old behavior of watchdog driver in case of old DTB */
if (!of_device_is_compatible(dev->of.node, "brcm,bcm2835-pm") ||
of_device_is_system_power_controller(dev->of.node))
pm_power_off = bcm2835_power_off;
}
Best regards
Stefan
