Guenter,
I received and applied your patches. I had to compile with ACPI
disabled because 3.3-rc2 now reports a resource conflict between the
WDAT structure (that we report for Microsoft Windows watchdog timer
support) and the TCO watchdog portion of lpc_ich:

ACPI Warning: 0x00000460-0x0000047f SystemIO conflicts with
Region \PMIO 1 (20120111/utaddress-251)
ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use
it instead of the native driver
lpc_ich: probe of 0000:00:1f.0 failed with error -16

We may have to submit a driver in the future to utilize the WDAT
ACPI table, but that's another topic.

Do you think it's worth modifying lcp_ich to register all of the
resources that it can and only populate the mfd_cells that have
all of their required resources? That would prevent the entire
driver from bombing out in situations like this. I can't imagine
our BIOS is the only one implementing the WDAT table.

Anyway, after compiling without ACPI the lpc_ich driver registered
as expected and the gpio-ich and iTCO_wdt drivers detected and
configured their associated resources. I have verified that the
watchdog timer still works as expected. I need to track down some
other hardware to properly test the GPIO.
