Currently, update_no_reboot_bit() function implemented in this driver
uses mutex_lock() to protect its register updates. But this function is
called with in atomic context in iTCO_wdt_start() and iTCO_wdt_stop()
functions in iTCO_wdt.c driver, which in turn causes "sleeping into
atomic context" issue. This patch fixes this issue by replacing the
mutex_lock() with spin_lock() to protect the GCR read/write/update APIs.

Fixes: 9d855d4 ("platform/x86: intel_pmc_ipc: Fix iTCO_wdt GCS memory
mapping failure")
I think it need to be a one line.
Fixed it in v5 version. But it crosses 80 char limit. I am not sure whether its alright.

Does it apply on top of v4.14-rc3 ?
Yes. Just checked it now.  It applies cleanly on top of v4.14-rc3. But v5 patch set is re-based on top of your review branch. So it has dependency on a patch ( "platform/x86: intel_pmc_ipc: Use devm_* calls in driver probe function") in your review branch.
Btw, this patch should be first in the series.
Fixed it in v5 version.
