+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arm: compressed: set ipq40xx watchdog to allow boot
+
+For IPQ40XX systems where the SoC watchdog is activated before linux,
+the watchdog timer may be too small for linux to finish uncompress,
+boot, and watchdog management start.
+If the watchdog is enabled, set the timeout for it to 30 seconds.
+The functionality and offsets were copied from:
+drivers/watchdog/qcom-wdt.c qcom_wdt_set_timeout & qcom_wdt_start
+The watchdog memory address was taken from:
+arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-ipq4019.dtsi
+
+This was required on Mikrotik IPQ40XX consumer hardware using Mikrotik's
+RouterBoot bootloader.
