watchdog: it87_wdt: Keep WDTCTRL bit 3 unmodified for IT8784/IT8786
WDTCTRL bit 3 sets the mode choice for the clock input of IT8784/IT8786. Some motherboards require this bit to be set to 1 (= PCICLK mode), otherwise the watchdog functionality gets broken. The BIOS of those motherboards sets WDTCTRL bit 3 already to 1. Instead of setting all bits of WDTCTRL to 0 by writing 0x00 to it, keep bit 3 of it unchanged for IT8784/IT8786 chips. In this way, bit 3 keeps the status as set by the BIOS of the motherboard. Watchdog tests have been successful with this patch with the following systems: IT8784: Thomas-Krenn LES plus v2 (YANLING YL-KBRL2 V2) IT8786: Thomas-Krenn LES plus v3 (YANLING YL-CLU L2) IT8786: Thomas-Krenn LES network 6L v2 (YANLING YL-CLU6L) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/140b264d-341f-465b-8715-dacfe84b3f71@roeck-us.net/Signed-off-by: Werner Fischer <devlists@wefi.net> Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231213094525.11849-4-devlists@wefi.netSigned-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@linux-watchdog.org>
