[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH] kernel: Add iTCO_wdt watchdog timer module support

[Michael Marley]

CONFIG_ITCO_WDT is actually already set to "y" in LEDE's current kernel 
configuration, but it seems that some dependency is getting compiled as 
a module, also forcing iTCO_wdt to be compiled as a module.  Felix said 
to just build it into the kernel anyway, which I plan to do, but I 
haven't had a chance to look at what is causing it to build as a module 
instead of into the kernel yet.
