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.

Oh, what I asked you is to use vanilla kernel as a base.
Please, be sure (you assured me, though it's not true)
I did test this patch on top of 4.14-rc3, but I have included another
patch (""platform/x86: intel_pmc_ipc: Use devm_* calls in driver probe
function") from your review branch before testing.
I assumed that your will be pushing this patch along with devm_* fixes
patch (since you already reviewed it), So I re-based them together on
top of 4.14-rc3. Sorry, it looks like my assumption is incorrect.
that it's
applied against vanilla (or our fixes branch) and send just this one
patch separately.
I will send it separately now.
No need to resend v5 right now.
