watchdog: Fix POST failure on ASUS P5N32-E SLI and similar boards
At present the module does not unset the NO_REBOOT bit upon shutdown, this
causes the BIOS to fail the POST once and reset. During the next boot it
displays the following error message:
***** Warning: System BOOT Fail *****
Your system last boot fail or POST interrupted.
Please enter setup to load default and reboot again.
Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP
With this patch the NO_REBOOT flag will be unset on shutdown and thus stop
this failure from occurring.
Tested on 'ASUS P5N32-E SLI with BIOS revision 1801' and
'ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS with BIOS revision 1502'.
