Thanks to help me , how core will treat this error 1/ Wdt not available 2/ ignoring this error 3/ core is not registering handler I guess 3 is valid, On side track, looks wdt is not used by core services then do we really need this as part of arch protocol ? regards Udit > -----Original Message----- > From: Gao, Liming [mailto:liming....@intel.com] > Sent: Monday, December 04, 2017 8:53 PM > To: Leif Lindholm <leif.lindh...@linaro.org>; Kinney, Michael D > <michael.d.kin...@intel.com> > Cc: Meenakshi Aggarwal <meenakshi.aggar...@nxp.com>; > ard.biesheu...@linaro.org; edk2-devel@lists.01.org; Udit Kumar > <udit.ku...@nxp.com>; Varun Sethi <v.se...@nxp.com> > Subject: RE: [PATCH edk2-platforms] [PATCH v3 2/9] Platform/NXP : Add support > for Watchdog driver > > Leif: > I suggest return EFI_UNSUPPORTED for this case.
