If the watchdog hardware is already enabled during the boot process,
when the Linux watchdog driver loads, it should reset the watchdog and
tell the watchdog framework. As a result, ping can be generated from
the watchdog framework, until the userspace watchdog daemon takes over
control

Note ENABLE_MASK contains two bits (INT_ENABLE and RESET_ENABLE); 
therefore, a simple !!(expression) would not work? That is, the 
masked result needs to be compared against the mask again to ensure 
both bits are set, right?

Ray - your original code looks correct to me.? Easier to read and less 
prone to errors as shown in the attempted translation to a single 
statement.

 ????if (<boolean condition>)
 ??????? return true;
 ????else
 ??????? return false;

still looks really dumb, though, and IMO is actually harder to read than 
just "return <boolean condition>;" because it forces you to stop and 
double-check that the logic is, in fact, only doing the obvious thing.

If you can propose a way to modify my original code above to make it 
more readable, I'm fine to make the change.

As I mentioned, I don't think the following change proposed by Guenter 
will work due to the reason I pointed out:

return !!(readl_relaxed(wdt->base + WDTCONTROL) & ENABLE_MASK));

Robin.



p.s. No thanks for making me remember the mind-boggling horror of 
briefly maintaining part of this legacy codebase... :P
