Hmm, I can't find it in the docs. Which version of the documentation do
you use?

Have you tested this successfully? According to the docs, CKS bits are
all 1 by default. So, your |= operation should be a NOP and we can't
select a CKS value anymore if I am not mistaken.

What is the use of enabling an interrupt without having an interrupt
handler? (And I never understood why there is an interrupt for an
overflowing watchdog. We won't have time to serve it, or am I
overlooking something obvious?)

Kind regards,

Exactly.

I guess it (the hardware, not the Linux watchdog driver) might be used
as a generic timer? Or the interrupt may signal the RT core that the
application cores have been restarted?

But in the context of (the current) Linux watchdog driver, this doesn't
make much sense.

I tested and can confirm WOVFE was be disable by command 
rwdt_write(priv, priv->cks, RWTCSRA);
I don't understand why this bit is turned off but the watchdog can still reset, but 
according to the document it will be 1.

I have added the interrupt node to dtsi and created the interrupt handler to successfully handle the Secure watchdog Gen2, but this is not documented.  With Gen 3, I am also thinking whether it is necessary or not.  Thank you!!!
With Gen3, after reset by WDT, then restart will have an interrupt when probe timer(), but we can do this no reset, after this,  timer operate normally. 
Problaly this patch should RFC

Thank you for your helps!!!

Do you have any comment about this question?

Your answer doesn't have CKS bits things. As Wolfram-san mentioned, the default CKS bits
value is b'111 and then the code "val |= priv->cks" can be not set to the priv->cks value.
In other words, if the priv->cks is set to 0, the driver should set the CKS bits to 0,
but your code will be set to b'111.

I'm afraid I could not understand these comments well, but if you have the interrupt handler for this renesas_wdt driver,
you should contain it on this patch :)  To be honest, I have no idea how to use the interrupt though.
