Hi Arnd As Sebastian points out, Armada 370 XP does not have this function. > > > /* Enable reset on watchdog */ > > - reg = readl(RSTOUTn_MASK); > > - reg |= WDT_RESET_OUT_EN; > > - writel(reg, RSTOUTn_MASK); > > + atomic_io_modify(RSTOUTn_MASK, WDT_RESET_OUT_EN, WDT_RESET_OUT_EN); > > And this register already has an abstraction in > arch/arm/mach-mvebu/system-controller.c. I would prefer to find a way > to generalize that. I can see multiple ways to do that: Please be aware that arch/arm/mach-mvebu/system-controller.c is currently DT only. We need a solution which works for both with DT and without DT, since orion5x and mv78xx0 none DT boards are not going away soon. Andrew
