Based on your register dumping, I see the following configurations on rk3288:
WDT_DUAL_TOP is configured as false, so there's no TOP_INIT
WDT_DFLT_TOP is configured as 0, so it will timeout soon.
So an extra pat is a must on such platforms with similar configurations. And it
doesn't hurt anything if we have an extra pat before enabling the WDT
All in all, except the "dw_mmc" typo above, the patch looks good to me.
Thanks,
Jisheng
