[PATCH 1/2] arm64: add grace period when rebooting

[Wolfram Sang]

I work on a system where I currently need to reboot via watchdog.
Because the watchdog needs a bit of time to fire, add a grace period
like on arm32 to avoid the false positive warning message.

[PATCH 2/2] arm64: proper comment formatting in reboot handler

[Wolfram Sang]

This comment was probably copied from arm32 and then shortened. It fits
to single line now.

Please can you elaborate a bit on the control flow here, specifically
from the part which arms the watchdog to how we end up in at the mdelay()?

Ideally, the mdelay() would live in some code that knows about the watchdog,
and therefore can choose the appropriate delay.

Thanks,

Will

Agreed. I'll put the delay into the watchdog driver.

Thanks,
