iTCO_wdt: fix typo when setting TCO_EN bit
The code used '&= 0x00002000' when it tried to set the TCO_EN bit, which obviously didn't set that bit at all, but instead just reset all the other bits in the SMI_EN register. This bug seemingly caused various random behavior, with Frans Pop reporting that X.org just silently hung at startup and Rafael Wysocki reports the fan spinning with full speed. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/3/178 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12162 The problem seems to have been triggered by "[WATCHDOG] iTCO_wdt : problem with rebooting on new ICH9 based motherboards" (commit 7cd5b08be3c489df11b559fef210b81133764ad4), but the bogus code existed before that too (in the "supermicro_old_pre_stop()" function), it just apparently never showed up due to different logic. In that commit the broken code got moved around and now gets executed much more. Reported-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Tested-by: Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl> Cc: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
