+Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: ath79-wdt: avoid spurious restarts on AR934x
+
+On some AR934x based systems, where the frequency of
+the AHB bus is relatively high, the built-in watchdog
+causes a spurious restart when it gets enabled.
+
+The possible cause of these restarts is that the timeout
+value written into the TIMER register does not reaches
+the hardware in time.
+
+Add an explicit delay into the ath79_wdt_enable function
+to avoid the spurious restarts.
