+ * WDT_RESET_WIDTH controls the characteristics of the external pulse (if
+ * enabled), specifically:
+ *
+ * * Pulse duration
+ * * Drive mode: push-pull vs open-drain
+ * * Polarity: Active high or active low
+ *
+ * Pulse duration configuration is available on both the AST2400 and AST2500,
+ * though the field changes between SoCs:
+ *
+ * AST2400: Bits 7:0
+ * AST2500: Bits 19:0
+ *
+ * This difference is captured in struct aspeed_wdt_config.
+ *
+ * The AST2500 exposes the drive mode and polarity options, but not in a
+ * regular fashion. For read purposes, bit 31 represents active high or low,
+ * and bit 30 represents push-pull or open-drain. With respect to write, magic
+ * values need to be written to the top byte to change the state of the drive
+ * mode and polarity bits. Any other value written to the top byte has no
+ * effect on the state of the drive mode or polarity bits. However, the pulse
+ * width value must be preserved (as desired) if written.
