Awesome, thanks for testing this!
I suspect that they added an additional reset path for the Pro/Max variants.
On my M1 macOS seems to only use this watchdog to reset the machine.

And if I understand the linux reset infrastructure correctly it's still fine
to have this as a "fallback" reset notifier even on the Pro/Max and add support
for the proper "pmgr" reset notifier eventually with a higher priority. 


Best,

Sven
