+* GPIO-controlled Watchdog
+
+Required Properties:
+- compatible: Should contain "linux,wdt-gpio".
+- gpios: From common gpio binding; gpio connection to WDT reset pin.
+- hw_algo: The algorithm used by the driver. Should be one of the
+ following values:
+ - toggle: Either a high-to-low or a low-to-high transition clears
+ the WDT counter. The watchdog timer is disabled when GPIO is
+ left floating or connected to a three-state buffer.
+ - level: Low or high level starts counting WDT timeout,
+ the opposite level disables the WDT. Active level is determined
+ by the GPIO flags.
+- hw_margin_ms: Maximum time to reset watchdog circuit (milliseconds).
+
+Example:
+ watchdog: watchdog {
+ /* ADM706 */
+ compatible = "linux,wdt-gpio";
+ gpios = <&gpio3 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+ hw_algo = "toggle";
+ hw_margin_ms = <1600>;
+ };
