I'm not going to add this driver. Reason is that the underlying hardware is an ITE IT8783 EC LPC superI/O chipset.
Support for this should actually go in it87_wdt.c . I think the following patch replaces your driver (see below).
Could you test it?

(and we can probably add the IT8781F and the IT8782F also, and the hwmon guys can probably add all 3 also in it87.c).

Kind regards,
Wim.
