Hello Mika, Rafael, Greg,
Hi,
Would it be possible to include the following two patches in 4.9-stable:
- "ACPI / watchdog: Prefer iTCO_wdt on Lenovo Z50-70"
- "ACPI / watchdog: Prefer iTCO_wdt always when WDAT table uses RTC SRAM"
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/comm... https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/comm...
Context: I just upgrade one of my servers from 4.4.161 to 4.9.137 and run into a problem of not working RTC and watchdog. Adding these two patches fixed the issue. No changes were necessary for them to be applied.
I think the best way to get these included in stable trees is to send the commit ids with the above explanation to stable@vger.kernel.org.
Thank you Mika! I forgot how the process works. :/
The commits are: a0a37862a4e1844793d39aca9ccb8fecbdcb8659 5a802a7a285c8877ca872e44eeb0f06afcb5212f
It also looks like the first patch is already in 4.14-stable, just not in 4.9.
- a0a37862a4e1844793d39aca9ccb8fecbdcb8659 was included in 4.14.51:
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.14.51
However, it does not look like the 2nd one has been included in 4.14 yet. Would it be then possible to add 5a802a7a285c8877ca872e44eeb0f06afcb5212f to both 4.9-stable and 4.14-stable?
The impacted system is: Dell Inc. PowerEdge T110 II/0PM2CW, BIOS 2.10.0 05/24/2018

Okay, I've queued the second commit to 4.14, and both to 4.9.
What about older stable kernels?
