[ Upstream commit d12971849d71781c1e4ffd1117d4878ce233d319 ] 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.net Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@linux-watchdog.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
