3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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).
