I think older kernels should be fine, like I said - everything worked under 4.4-stable. I suspect this is because of some ACPI / WDAT improvements in 4.9, or between 4.5 - 4.8 for which we no longer support -stable. Mika, do
you know which change exactly introduce this side effect?

IIRC it was the introduction of WDAT driver itself in commit
058dfc767008 ("ACPI / watchdog: Add support for WDAT hardware
watchdog"). The driver went into v4.9 so I don't think older stable
kernels need this.

Great, thanks all!

Hi.

I tested 4.9.141-rc1 and everything seems to work correctly. Thank you for adding the patches!
