I did a little bit on IPMI watchdog. Does PLDM have an OS boot watchdog
like IPMI (not that we enable it in skiboot)? If yes and we did enable
such a thing, we could hook in the watchdog commands in the OPAL IPMI
calls so the OS does not have to be PLDM aware, right?

Would there be any plans to have OPAL PLDM calls for OS native PLDM, or
would that get handled a different way?

Thanks,
Nick
