Commit da23b6faa8bf ("watchdog: iTCO: Add support for Cannon Lake
PCH iTCO") does not ignore NMI_NOW bit on write operation to TCO1_CNT
register what causes unexpected NMIs due to NMI_NOW bit inversion
during regular crashkernel's workflow with following logs:
iTCO_vendor_support: vendor-support=0
iTCO_wdt iTCO_wdt: unable to reset NO_REBOOT flag, device
disabled by hardware/BIOS
This change clears NMI_NOW bit in the TCO1_CNT register to have no
effect on NMI_NOW bit inversion what can cause NMI immediately.

I suggest adding some #define for the magical number 8 so that it is
easier for anyone looking at this driver to figure out what it is doing.
Otherwise looks good to me, thanks!
Not really; it appears to be hiding a change in code which is supposed to do
something different (it is supposed to set or clear the no_reboot bit),
with no explanation whatsoever. That warrants a comment in the code.
Also, I would prefer
val = inw(TCO1_CNT(p)) & ~BIT(8);
On top of that, I fail to understand "on register comparison" in the subject.
What register comparison ?
