SubjectRe: [PATCH RFC] watchdog: add a new driver for VIA chipsets

Could you please ask again? It could indeed be that they lock registers.
(It could be something similar to some of the superIO chipsets that can
enable/disable (lock/unlock) access to registers).

The BIOS can at least start the hardware, so the hardware does work :-)

Note: I saw your disclaimer and I thus have no high hopes :-).

Thanks in advance,
Wim.
