[Fix]
Intel provides a patch to fix this issue which is included in v6.17-rc5.
664596bd98bb i2c: i801: Hide Intel Birch Stream SoC TCO WDT
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-i2c/[email protected]/
[Test]
1. Boot up the Intel Birch Stream SoC machine which has multiple devices need
to load i801_smbus module
2. There should be no such error in dmesg
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/platform/devices/iTCO_wdt'
[Where problems could occur]
It removes the watchdog feature for Intel Birch Stream SoC in the driver,
won't affect other platforms, and should not introduce any regressions.
