CONFIG_CS5536_MFGPT enables and works fine on Yeeloong. Maybe you can modify GEODE_WDT to use this support instead (not 5535)? (You may have to remove "depends on BROKEN" in CS5536_MFGPT Kconfig.) Also, did you try removing "depends on x86"? In general, don't be hesitant to try changing Kconfig around, it's not set in stone, and some things might be one way and not the other because no one considered the other way could be better :) -- With respect, Roman
