Commit da23b6faa8bf ("watchdog: iTCO: Add support for Cannon Lake PCH iTCO") does not mask NMI_NOW bit during TCO1_CNT register's value comparison for update_no_reboot_bit() call causing following failure: ... iTCO_vendor_support: vendor-support=0 iTCO_wdt iTCO_wdt: unable to reset NO_REBOOT flag, device disabled by hardware/BIOS ... and this can lead to unexpected NMIs later during regular crashkernel's workflow because of watchdog probe call failures. This change masks NMI_NOW bit for TCO1_CNT register values to avoid unexpected NMI_NOW bit inversions.
