Can you do this at restart time? I think it would be nicer to
avoid the global variable and init function and instead have
everything in a single function call for restart

Does this work if the real watchdog is still running, on a preemtible kernel?

Also, please always use writel_relaxed instead of __raw_writel, and try to use
msleep instead of mdelay by default. If msleep doesn't work here because it
actually causes the system not to be reset, just add a comment.
