[PATCH] watchdog: iTCO: Drop vendor support
From: Guenter Roeck
Date: Fri Oct 08 2021 - 11:26:46 EST
iTCO vendor support was introduced in 2006 to support SuperMicro boards
with Pentium 3 CPUs. It was extended in 2009 to support motherbords
with broken BIOS (specifically Intel DG33TL). The code is long since
obsolete, so let's drop support for it.

- * Vendor Support: 911
- * Board: Some Intel ICHx based motherboards
- * iTCO chipset: ICH7+
- *
- * Some Intel motherboards have a broken BIOS implementation: i.e.
- * the SMI handler clear's the TIMEOUT bit in the TC01_STS register
- * and does not reload the time. Thus the TCO watchdog does not reboot
- * the system.
- *
- * These are the conclusions of Andriy Gapon <avg@xxxxxxxxxxx> after
- * debugging: the SMI handler is quite simple - it tests value in
- * TCO1_CNT against 0x800, i.e. checks TCO_TMR_HLT. If the bit is set
- * the handler goes into an infinite loop, apparently to allow the
- * second timeout and reboot. Otherwise it simply clears TIMEOUT bit
- * in TCO1_STS and that's it.
- * So the logic seems to be reversed, because it is hard to see how
- * TIMEOUT can get set to 1 and SMI generated when TCO_TMR_HLT is set
- * (other than a transitional effect).
- *
- * The only fix found to get the motherboard(s) to reboot is to put
- * the glb_smi_en bit to 0. This is a dirty hack that bypasses the
- * broken code by disabling Global SMI.
- *
- * WARNING: globally disabling SMI could possibly lead to dramatic
- * problems, especially on laptops! I.e. various ACPI things where
- * SMI is used for communication between OS and firmware.
- *
- * Don't use this fix if you don't need to!!!
