It ends up calling this function in the imx_watchdog.c:

void __attribute__((weak)) reset_cpu(ulong addr)
{
	struct watchdog_regs *wdog = (struct watchdog_regs *)WDOG1_BASE_ADDR;

	printf("%s: called now\n",__func__);
	udelay(500);

	clrsetbits_le16(&wdog->wcr, WCR_WT_MSK, WCR_WDE);

	writew(0x5555, &wdog->wsr);
	writew(0xaaaa, &wdog->wsr);	/* load minimum 1/2 second timeout */
	while (1) {
		/*
		 * spin for .5 seconds before reset
		 */
	}
}

I added the printf / udelay to be sure. WCR_WT_MSK is (0xff << 8).

What I also observed is that if I upload the uboot image with the imx-usb-loader it boots
and runs normally but the reset in this case also just hangs the soc without rebooting it,
like barebox; so there must be a difference between an 'usb uploaded' boot and a 'qspi native'
boot.
