The only purpose of the delay is to wait for the reset to trigger. It is not supposed to sleep. NACK. Guenter

I'd think that the kernel has a severe problem if it decides to preempt that function. Guenter

Since it is not called in an atomic context the mdelay function can be replaced with msleep to avoid busy wait. Signed-off-by: Phil Eichinger <phil@zankapfel.net> --- drivers/watchdog/aspeed_wdt.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
