3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Takahisa Tanaka <mc74h...@gmail.com> commit 10ab329b5db7e592a3a60b4594e4e5f40b60c45c upstream. In case of SB800 or later chipset and re-programming MMIO address(*), sp5100_tco module may read incorrect value of reserved bit, because the module reads a value from an incorrect I/O address. However, this bug doesn't cause a problem, because when re-programming MMIO address, by chance the module writes zero (this is BIOS's default value) to the low three bits of register. * In most cases, PC with SB8x0 or later chipset doesn't need to re-programming MMIO address, because such PC can enable AcpiMmio and can use 0xfed80b00 for watchdog register base address. This patch fixes this bug.
