Do you know if, at least, the pre-timeout is working?
Glancing at the code, this chip can be configured to use a=20
specific IRQ (its
default one is 0x40) and have an "NMI mode" (relying on an
explicitly configured IRQ). Maybe playing with the dev.itwd.irq=20
and .nwi
tunables could get us some hints.
Also this code from itwd's wd_func puzzle me a bit:
superio_write(dev, 0x73, val);
if (superio_read(dev, 0x73) !=3D val)
superio_write(dev, 0x73, val);
It let me think that we either are writing twice to the same I/O
port by mistake or the corresponding chip's register enforce a
specific protocol to modify it. If the later, the code don't seems
to be able to detect a "protocol error".
By the way, do you have the datasheet of the ITE chip? (I know I
must be very optimistic to ask such a question ;))
