Re: [-mm PATCH] set enable bit instead of lock bit of Watchdog Timer in Intel 6300 chipset

This patch sets the WDT_ENABLE bit of the Lock Register to enable the

sets the WDT_LOCK bit of watchdog timer for Intel 6300ESB chipset. So, we
end up locking the watchdog instead of enabling it.

Naveen,

thanks alot for testing the driver further and finding these bugs. I've not been able to do so myself as the only computers available to me with this watchdog are production-servers meaning that I've only been able to test during scheduled downtimes.

Have you tested and verified that the driver works after these patches have been applied?
