[PATCH v3 2/2] watchdog: fix w83627hf_wdt clear timeout expired

From: Tony Chung
Date: Mon Apr 01 2013 - 01:59:56 EST


Observed that the w83627hf watchdog timer start counting during reboot.
If the system load the driver after 5 minutes, it rebooted immediately because of timer expired.
For example, fsck took more than 5 minutes to run, then the computer reboot as soon as the driver was loaded.
