The orion watchdog can either reset the CPU or generate an interrupt. The interrupt would be useful for debugging as it provides panic() output about the watchdog expiry, however if the interrupt is used the watchdog can't reset the CPU in the event of being stuck in a loop with interrupts disabled or if the CPU is prevented from accessing memory (e.g. an unterminated DMA). The Armada SoCs have spare timers that aren't currently used by the Linux kernel. We can use timer1 to provide a pre-timeout ahead of the watchdog timer and provide the possibility of gathering debug before the reset triggers.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
