[PATCH] watchdog: meson_gxbb_wdt: remove stop_on_reboot

[Artem Lapkin]

Remove watchdog_stop_on_reboot()

The Meson platform still has some hardware drivers problems for some
configurations which can freeze devices on shutdown/reboot.

Remove watchdog_stop_on_reboot() to catch this situation and ensure that
the reboot happens anyway. Users who still want to stop the watchdog on
reboot can still do so using the watchdog.stop_on_reboot=1 module
parameter.

Re: [PATCH] watchdog: meson_gxbb_wdt: remove stop_on_reboot

[Art Nikpal]

Yes i totally agree with you , i will rewrite this patches again
properly and explain more detail about why need remove
watchdog_stop_on_reboot

i have check already other watchdog sources / half of them have
watchdog_stop_on_reboot another half dont have it , and i think both
have some reasons

> I'll be happy tolisten to input from others.

Same will be happy.

Our situation very simple - meson platform still have some hardware
drivers problems for some configuration which can freeze device on
shutdown/reboot stage and i hope better to have some reboot warranty

> some reboots take longer than the watchdog timeout.
I have check this situation to - our drivers shutdown stage its about
1 sec default watchdog timeout 30 sec i think its enough - cant see
any problem
anybody can use watchdog.stop_on_reboot=1 if need freeze identification.

This warrants a much longer explanation to even be considered.
Your explanation/reasoning needs to be here. Others won't have
the benefit of reading the summary e-mail, even more so since
you declined to number and sequence the series.

Personally' I don't find it acceptable, but I'll be happy to
listen to input from others. Such changes should be based on
real problems, not on personal opinions. If we accept this patch,
someone else might come in later reverting it with the personal
opinion that some reboots take longer than the watchdog timeout.
