+Subject: [PATCH] Customize phosphor-watchdog for Intel platforms
+
+This patch adds various changes to phosphor-watchdog that are
+required for compatibility with Intel platforms.
+
+   1. Add Redfish messages for watchdog timeout and pre-interrupt
+   2. Use dbus properties for power control insted of service files
+   3. Use host status to enable/disable watchdog
+   4. Set preTimeoutInterruptOccurFlag
