Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

When the watchdog device is not open by userspace, the kernel takes care of pinging it. When the open_timeout feature is in use, we should ensure that the hardware fires close to open_timeout seconds after the kernel has assumed responsibility for the device. To do this, simply reuse the logic that is already in place for ensuring the same thing when userspace is responsible for regularly pinging the device: - When watchdog_active(wdd), this patch doesn't change anything. - When !watchdog_active(wdd), the "virtual timeout" should be taken to be ->open_deadline". When the open_timeout feature is not used or the device has been opened at least once, ->open_deadline is KTIME_MAX, and the arithmetic ends up returning keepalive_interval as we used to. This has been tested on a Wandboard with various combinations of open_timeout and timeout-sec properties for the on-board watchdog by booting with 'init=/bin/sh', timestamping the lines on the serial console, and comparing the timestamp of the 'imx2-wdt 20bc000.wdog: timeout nnn sec' line with the timestamp of the 'U-Boot SPL ...' line (which appears just after reset).

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
