[PATCH v4 1/3] watchdog: w83627hf_wdt: Correctly identify Nuvoton NCT6126 chip

Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-watchdog,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Currently, the NCT6126 is probed as a NCT6116 because the NCT6126 shares
the same high-byte chip ID as the NCT6116.

Read the low byte of the chip ID as well to distinguish between the two
devices and identify the NCT6126 correctly.
