No, the iTCO_wdt driver won't fail to start. It actually depends on
whether RCBA BAR is set. However, ICH9 will just ignore whether
NO_REBOOT is set or unset when SPKR pin is high.

I think you forgot to apply my SeaBIOS patch that sets RCBA BAR so it
failed to start. We should also make sure it's applied once TCO patches
get upstream.

Thanks,
