Subject: watchdog: sp5100_tco: Write back the original value to reserved bits, instead of zero
From: Takahisa Tanaka <mc74hc00@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 41adafbd7b84c66c2cdad857b75d5d45032310a6 upstream.
In case of SP5100 or SB7x0 chipsets, the sp5100_tco module writes zero to
reserved bits. The module, however, shouldn't depend on specific default
value, and should perform a read-merge-write operation for the reserved
bits.
This patch makes the sp5100_tco module perform a read-merge-write operation
on all the chipset (sp5100, sb7x0, sb8x0 or later).
