This can be a example of adding SBSA Generic Watchdog device node
into some dts files for the Soc which contains SBSA Generic Watchdog.

I assume 10 is timeout, 5 is pre timeout, but in the driver code the default
value is 30/10, I think the example dts[i] should use same default values as in code.

BTW, for kdump kernel Pratyush is working on kdump on wdt enabled system. 
Basiclly we expect one configure longer timeout, and kick it in shorter
period so we can get a chance to save vmcore. 10s sounds too short for the case..

Specially if D-cache is not enabled in ARM64 kexec-tool/purgatory then its more
than 2 min. Geoff has yet not agreed [1] to take D-cache support in purgatory.

yes, that is good idea, will make them to be the same.  :-)

Thanks for your info.

So that means: we may need that long timeout support in the second stage.
WOR is not enough for  the second stage in most of kdump case.

Great thanks for your info.
I thinks I may need to make the default pretimeout longer in example,
may be at least 30s(for kdump kernel  with  D-cache)

any thought?
