From 453d0744f6c6ca3f9749b8c57c2e85b5b9f52514 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Moritz Fischer Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2017 15:05:11 -0700 Subject: rtc: ds1374: wdt: Fix issue with timeout scaling from secs to wdt ticks The issue is that the internal counter that triggers the watchdog reset is actually running at 4096 Hz instead of 1Hz, therefore the value given by userland (in sec) needs to be multiplied by 4096 to get the correct behavior.
