From 0bf75b9c8a0eb1ef46ce85a393dd27ae801fc207 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guenter Roeck Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 11:29:58 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: iTCO: Drop vendor support iTCO vendor support was introduced in 2006 to support SuperMicro boards with Pentium 3 CPUs. It was extended in 2009 to support motherbords with broken BIOS (specifically Intel DG33TL). The code is long since obsolete, so let's drop support for it.
