Hi Timo,

So I am still trying to improve pretimeout support :-)

Is there anything still missing from it ?

If I can make pretimeout merged, may be you can try pretimeout to
implement early_timeout_sec function?

Not sure how one would or even could do that.

Do you mean "implement early_pretimeout_sec", by any chance ?
I mean: using pretimeout to implement the function you want, instead
of early_pretimeout_sec
How would this work if the watchdog hardware doesn't support pretimeout ?

Pretimeout and early timeout are two logically different functions, with
different goals, so I don't entirely (if at all) understand why it would
make sense to tie them together.

Can you elaborate why you think this would be a good idea ?
sorry,  my apology.  forget about this, :-)
I think we should focus on SBSA watchdog patch here, but not a
early_timeout_sec.
Thanks,
Guenter
