The watchdog on the Apple silicon t8122 (M3) SoC is compatible with the

"apple,t8103-wdt" used by the driver.

'"apple,t8103-wdt" used by the driver' is not true. The watchdog driver
only supports "apple,wdt".

It slipped my mind that
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-watchdog/20251231-watchdog-apple-t8103-base-compat-v1-1-1702a02e0c45@xxxxxxxxxx/
wasn't picked up yet.


Me too. Applied both.

Thanks,
Guenter

I second Sashiko's findings that the driver will fail to bind because it
only supports "apple,wdt". I would not mind and apply the patch anyway,
but the statement in the description is just plain wrong and thus
misleading. Please fix.

I would prefer if the addition of the "apple,t8103-wdt" to the driver is
picked.

Thanks,
