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'.
