You're right. Upon reset the watchdog is disabled even if it was active before.
Adding empty ->pre_reset() and ->post_reset() helps to avoid that, but
looking at Documentation and other drivers it seems that I need to do:
in pre_reset():
mutex_lock() to block any other I/O to the usb device;
__usb_streamlabs_wdt_cmd(STOP) to stop the watchdog;
and do not unlock the mutex;
in post_reset():
if (watchdog_active())
__usb_streamlabs_wdt_cmd(START);
mutex_unlock() to allow other's I/O to the usb deivce.
Seems right?
Best regards,
Alexey
