Hi Marc, > From: Marc van der Wal <x0r+kernel@xxxxxx> > > On some hardware platforms, the it87_wdt watchdog resets the machine > despite the watchdog daemon running and writing to /dev/watchdog. > > This is due to Consumer IR buffer underrun interrupts being used as > triggers to reset the timer.

Setting it to 1 enables the workaround. > > Fixes bug #42801 <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42801>. > Tested primarily on Linux 3.5.7, applies cleanly on Linux 3.13.5. > > Signed-off-by: Marc van der Wal <x0r+kernel@xxxxxx> > --- Patch has been added to linux-watchdog-next.
