Hi Joseph,
A bug was opened against the Ubuntu kernel[0]. It was found that
reverting the following commit resolved this bug:
commit 740fbddf5c3f9ad8b23c5d917ba1cc7e376a5104
Author: Takahisa Tanaka <mc74hc00@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun Dec 2 14:33:18 2012 +0900
watchdog: sp5100_tco: Add SB8x0 chipset support
The regression was introduced as of v3.8-rc1.
I see that you are the author of this patch, so I wanted to run this by
you. I was thinking of requesting a revert for v3.8, but I wanted to
get your feedback first.
Please check out the attached patches first (They are allready in
linux-next).
Thanks for the feedback, Wim. I'll let you know if the patches resolve this
bug.

Kind regards,

Thank you for your information, and sorry for the late reply.
I think that I will get rid of code that re-programming the chipset
registers, if my patch set doesn't resolve the problem.
I'm waiting for your reply at the moment.
Regards,
Takahisa
Hi Takahisa,
The bug report tested a kernel with the patches. However, he reports
the kernel panic still occurs[0].
Thanks,
Joe
