Are you even sure SPL_CYCLIC is required? Wouldn't enabling CYCLIC be

Short test answer is no. SPL_CYCLIC must be init with default timeout #.
Since you have not identified the root issue yet, can you please provide
the actual defconfig used before this change so we can figure out what
is happening, if other boards are impacted and how to fix it properly so
this possible misconfiguration cannot happen anymore?
socfpga_cyclone5_defconfig
So, this does NOT enable WDT or WATCHDOG. It does force SPL_WATCHDOG on
but that doesn't seem to do anything except if SPL_WDT is also set, in
which case it'll then selects SPL_CYCLIC automatically. Can you walk us
step by step through how you get this into this broken state?
git clone https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git
cd u-boot
git checkout origin/master
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- socfpga_cyclone5_defconfig
and then...?
Does it happen with the default socfpga_cyclone5_defconfig defconfig?
What do you do next? Do you run "make menuconfig" to enable/disable some
options? Which ones?
But my patch did not target ONE config file. Because the risk or possible
hazard could happen on other GEN5 socfpga. Need others to report btw.
Yes, but I only want at least one board this happens on so we can try
figure out exactly what happens with this watchdog.
b.c. it requires complete fresh build to trigger possibly.
What do you mean it requires a complete fresh build?
Cheers,
Quentin
