[PATCH v2 1/2] watchdog: w83627hf_wdt: Add support for Nuvoton NCT6126
From: Paul Louvel
Date: Mon Jul 06 2026 - 07:11:40 EST
Add support for the hardware watchdog integrated in the Nuvoton NCT6126
Super I/O chip. This device is used on a number of x86 single-board
computers and is compatible with the w83627hf_wdt driver.
Unlike most supported chips, the NCT6126 shares the same high-byte chip
ID as the NCT6116. Read the low byte of the chip ID as well to
distinguish between the two devices and identify the NCT6126 correctly.
