[WATCHDOG] w83627hf_wdt.c-initialized_bios_bug

Browse Source 
Attached is a small update to the w83627hf watchdog driver
to initialise appropriately if it was already initialised
in the BIOS. On tyan motherboards for e.g. you can init
the watchdog to 4 mins, then when the driver is loaded it
sets the watchdog to "seconds" mode, and then machine will
reboot within 4 seconds. So this patch resets the timeout
to the configured value if the watchdog is already running.
