    mfd: lpc_ich: Fix a 3.5 kernel regression for iTCO_wdt driver

    There are many reports (including 2 of my machines) that iTCO_wdt watchdog
    driver fails to be initialized in 3.5 kernel with error message like:

    [    5.265175] ACPI Warning: 0x00001060-0x0000107f SystemIO conflicts with
Region \_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.TCOI 1 (20120320/utaddress-251)
    [    5.265192] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you
should use it instead of the native driver
    [    5.265206] lpc_ich: Resource conflict(s) found affecting iTCO_wdt

    The root cause the iTCO_wdt driver in 3.4 probes the HW IO resource from
    LPC's PCI config space, while in 3.5 kernel it relies on lpc_ich driver
    for the probe, which adds a new acpi_check_resource_conflict() check, and
    give up the probe if there is any conflict with ACPI.

    Actually the same check could be removed for the gpio-ich in lpc_ich.c,
    but I'm not sure if it will cause problems.


This is the commit log, as it pointed out, it only fixes the iTCO_wdt problem,
and doesn't touch other warning for "gpio_ich".

If anybody see problem with this "gpio_ich", please create a new bugzilla to 
trace that. thanks,
