[PATCH 4.14 42/62] ACPI / watchdog: Prefer iTCO_wdt always when WDAT table uses RTC SRAM

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Nov 26 2018 - 06:00:27 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 5a802a7a285c8877ca872e44eeb0f06afcb5212f ]

After we added quirk for Lenovo Z50-70 it turns out there are at least
two more systems where WDAT table includes instructions accessing RTC
SRAM. Instead of quirking each system separately, look for such
instructions in the table and automatically prefer iTCO_wdt if found.
