Commit 830d29ac372 ("watchdog: Allow to use CONFIG_WDT without starting watchdog") completely broke WDT operation in both SPL and TPL, in either case those WDTs are never enabled. Fix it by filling in the missing Kconfig options
for SPL and TPL.

Those Kconfig entries look fine. However, I am wondering where exactly they get used. Am I missing
anything?

Have a look at the patch this Fixes:, if those Kconfig entries are not
present, the WDT is disabled in SPL and TPL unconditionally.

Yes, I did. But I guess I was not aware of how exactly that
CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(WATCHDOG_AUTOSTART) behaves.
While I have not really found this documented or the implementation
thereof I assume it pre-fixes config stuff
with SPL_ resp. TPL_ when building those flavors, correct?

Yes.

I am wondering how many others are unaware of this (just like the
author of the patch this fixes). Maybe we
should at least document this properly somewhere, not?

If this is not the case (I did not check this), then yes. A
documentation for these CONFIG_IS_ENABLED() and IS_ENABLED()
helpers would be very good.

You can possibly even auto-lint for CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(...)/IS_ENABLED(...) usage that is missing the Kconfig entries and warn about that, to prevent patches that break SPL/TPL .

It could be that if you're using some non-free or proprietary preloader
instead of SPL, you won't run into this problem.

No, don't worry. I am not running anything evil (;-p).

You won't run into any issues with this problem, as it is fixed in
a different way in master already, as Rasmus already pointed out:
