[PATCH v5 8/9] watchdog: max77620: add comment to clarify set_timeout procedure

From: Luca Ceresoli <luca@lucaceresoli.net>
Date: 2021-12-11 20:35:40
Also in: linux-rtc, linux-watchdog, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, watchdog device drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Wim Van Sebroeck, Guenter Roeck

Clarify why we need to ping the watchdog before changing the timeout by
quoting the MAX77714 datasheet.

Signed-off-by: Luca Ceresoli <luca@lucaceresoli.net>

Changes in v5:
 - improve comment to remove misleading ambiguous interpretation
   (Guenter Roeck)

This patch is new in v4. It adds a clarification comment to the max77620
driver taken from v3 patch 7.
