The new watchdog framework of settimeout causes an error condition for
the DA9052/53 PMIC since watchdog ping gets called upon applying the new
watchdog window and in the DA9052/53 PMIC we have a minimum time for the
watchdog window called TWDMIN. A write to the watchdog before this
elapsed time - TWDMIN - cause an error.
Can this be get fixed in the new framework?
Regards,
Ashish

Imho this should not be fixed in the framework but in your driver.
Even if we would change the framework, it will always be possible that
userspace will do a set-timeout and ping directly after each other.
What I would do is make sure that your driver makes sure that you can't write
before this TWDMIN window has passed.
Kind regards,
Wim.
