      mfd: lpc_ich: Fix a 3.5 kernel regression for iTCO_wdt driver · 092369ef
      Feng Tang authored
      There are many reports (including 2 of my machines) that iTCO_wdt watchdog
      driver fails to be initialized in 3.5 kernel with error message like:
      
      [    5.265175] ACPI Warning: 0x00001060-0x0000107f SystemIO conflicts with Region \_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.TCOI 1 (20120320/utaddress-251)
      [    5.265192] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver
      [    5.265206] lpc_ich: Resource conflict(s) found affecting iTCO_wdt
      
      The root cause the iTCO_wdt driver in 3.4 probes the HW IO resource from
      LPC's PCI config space, while in 3.5 kernel it relies on lpc_ich driver
      for the probe, which adds a new acpi_check_resource_conflict() check, and
      give up the probe if there is any conflict with ACPI.
      
      Fix it by removing all the checks for iTCO_wdt to keep the same behavior as
      3.4 kernel.
      https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44991
      
      
      
      Actually the same check could be removed for the gpio-ich in lpc_ich.c,
      but I'm not sure if it will cause problems.
