The omap watchdog has the annoying behaviour that writes to most registers don't have any effect when the watchdog is already running. Quoting the AM335x reference manual: To modify the timer counter value (the WDT_WCRR register), prescaler ratio (the WDT_WCLR[4:2] PTV bit field), delay configuration value (the WDT_WDLY[31:0] DLY_VALUE bit field), or the load value (the WDT_WLDR[31:0] TIMER_LOAD bit field), the watchdog timer must be disabled by using the start/stop sequence (the WDT_WSPR register). Currently the timer is stopped in the .probe callback but still there are possibilities that yield to a situation where omap_wdt_start is entered with the timer running (e.g. when /dev/watchdog is closed without stopping and then reopened). In such a case programming the timeout silently fails! To circumvent this stop the timer before reprogramming. Assuming one of the first things the watchdog user does is setting the timeout explicitly nothing too bad should happen because this explicit setting works fine.
