watchdog: it8712f_wdt: Add module parameter for alternative reset sources
On iEi PCISA-9652-R10 (BIOS version 1.5) single board computer reads from the game port do not seem to reset the watchdog timer. This patch adds a module parameter wdt_config_reg to specify alternative reset sources. At least WDT_RESET_KBD has been tested, even just running while true; do setleds -L +scroll sleep 1 setleds -L -scroll sleep 1 done is enough to keep the watchdog happy.
