Hmm ... does that mean it never worked ? Did you test it this time ?

A secondary concern is that the watchdog doesn't _have_ to trigger WDTRST,
but may also trigger PWOK. But that may be a separate issue.

Please add:

Fixes: 14b24a88a3660 ("watchdog: f71808e_wdt: Add F81866 support")

Better use superio_inb()/superio_outb(). The above is (much) more expensive,
and  we have no real idea what the impact of changing one bit at a time may be.
