you are right, zero is a  valid GSIV, I will delete this check. Thanks

Sure, you are right ,will do

do you mean:
---------------
4.2.4 Watchdogs
The base server system implements a Generic Watchdog as specified in
APPENDIX A: Generic Watchdog.

I am not sure about that if this is saying "we only have one SBSA
watchdog in a system"

would you let me know where mention it? Do I miss something?

Thanks :-)

yes, since we are using "select ACPI_GTDT if ACPI" in ARM64, we don't this.
Thanks for pointing it out.
