[ Upstream commit d12971849d71781c1e4ffd1117d4878ce233d319 ]
WDTCTRL bit 3 sets the mode choice for the clock input of IT8784/IT8786. Some motherboards require this bit to be set to 1 (= PCICLK mode), otherwise the watchdog functionality gets broken. The BIOS of those motherboards sets WDTCTRL bit 3 already to 1.
Instead of setting all bits of WDTCTRL to 0 by writing 0x00 to it, keep bit 3 of it unchanged for IT8784/IT8786 chips. In this way, bit 3 keeps the status as set by the BIOS of the motherboard.
Watchdog tests have been successful with this patch with the following systems: IT8784: Thomas-Krenn LES plus v2 (YANLING YL-KBRL2 V2) IT8786: Thomas-Krenn LES plus v3 (YANLING YL-CLU L2) IT8786: Thomas-Krenn LES network 6L v2 (YANLING YL-CLU6L)
