So, I just tried this on a Z1. Here's the result:

sleep 3 -> sleeps for 6 seconds

Configuring the watchdog for 3 seconds and:

echo "barf" > /dev/watchdog -> resets after 6 seconds

So using the 25 MHz reference clock is broken on Z1, but the point at
least boots; it will "just" keep track of time wrongly.
