Winbond 83627HF chip
I believe BIOS has watchdog disabled otherwise it would have reboot the box.
However, the timer just start counting.
Comparing to ipmi_watchdog, you can do this:
modprobe ipmi_watchdog ... start_now=0 ...action=<> nowayout=1
So it is possible to load the driver without start counting.
Notice it is an else, so t is actually 0 already (i.e. expired or
never start running):
