watchdog: da9062: da9063: prevent pings ahead of machine reset
Proper machine resets via da9062/da9063 PMICs are very tricky as they require special i2c atomic transfers when interrupts are not available anymore. This is also a reason why both PMIC's restart handlers do not use regmap but instead opt for i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() which does i2c transfer in atomic manner. Under the hood, this function tries to obtain i2c bus lock with call to i2c_adapter_trylock_bus() which will return -EAGAIN (-11) if lock is not available. Since commit 982bb705 ("watchdog: reset last_hw_keepalive time at start") occasional restart handler failures with "Failed to shutdown (err = -11)" error messages were observed, indicating that some process is holding the i2c bus lock. Investigation into the matter uncovered that sometimes during reboot sequence watchdog ping is issued late into poweroff/reboot phase which did not happen before mentioned commit (usually the watchdog ping happened immediately as commit message suggests). As of now, when watchdog ping usually happens late into poweroff/reboot stage when interrupts are not available anymore, i2c bus lock cannot be released anymore and pending restart handler in turn fails. Thus, to prevent such late watchdog pings from happening ahead of pending machine restart and consequently locking up the i2c bus, check for system_state in watchdog ping handler and consequently do not send pings anymore in case system_state > SYSTEM_RUNNING.
