[WATCHDOG] i8xx_tco.c - patch to arm watchdog only when started (Kernel Bug 4251)

[Wim Van Sebroeck]

Hi Linus,

Please add the following patch/bugfix:
i8xx_tco.c v0.08: only "arm" the watchdog when the watchdog has been started.
(Kernel Bug 4251: system reset when battery is read and i8xx_tco driver loaded)

Greetings,
Wim.
