Confusing. The register in question is a 32-bit register, but only a byte
is written into it. Bit 24-25 are supposed to be the resolution, bit 25-26
set to 0 enable the watchdog. Bit 7 is supposed to enable MMIO decoding.
This is from AMD Publication 52740. So something in the existing code
is (or seems to be) wrong, but either case I don't see how setting bit 7
(or 31 ?) would enable the watchdog hardware.

Hmm, I wrote that code. Guess I'll need to to spend some time figuring out
what is going on.
