Why I did it
To support iTCO watchdog using watchdog APIs.
How I did it
Implemented a new watchdog class WatchdogTCO for interfacing with iTCO watchdog.
Updated reboot cause determination logic.
How to verify it
Verified that the watchdog APIs' return values are as expected.
Logs: UT_logs.txt
dell_ich module fails to load sometimes due to the failure of pci_get_drvdata().
This function is responsible for fetching INTEL PCI related memory handle in kernel. This is implemented in lpc_ich kernel module.
Due to race in addition/deletion of kernel modules, sometimes lpc_ich loads after dell_ich.
Because of this behaviour dell_ich module fails to load.
Fixed by addding dependency between modules.
Removed i2c_mux_gpio module from blacklist entry as it is not the original root case of this issue.
