Subject: [PATCH 5.14 057/125] Revert "watchdog: iTCO_wdt: Account for rebooting on second timeout"

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net>

commit 6e7733ef0bb9372d5491168635f6ecba8ac3cb8a upstream.

This reverts commit cb011044e34c ("watchdog: iTCO_wdt: Account for
rebooting on second timeout") and commit aec42642d91f ("watchdog: iTCO_wdt:
Fix detection of SMI-off case") since those patches cause a regression
on certain boards (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213809).

While this revert may result in some boards to only reset after twice
the configured timeout value, that is still better than a watchdog reset
after half the configured value.

Fixes: cb011044e34c ("watchdog: iTCO_wdt: Account for rebooting on second timeout")
Fixes: aec42642d91f ("watchdog: iTCO_wdt: Fix detection of SMI-off case")
