Actually it is not so good correlate with the purpose, but I grasped
several examples like watchdog/pcwd.c; watchdog/w83977f_wdt.c;
watchdog/of_xilinx_wdt.c and saw that I can use it in meaning "the card initiated reset.
After the WDT is overflowed it sets WDFLAG, so I can use it.
It is more useful while debugging and if it is doubtful I can drop it.
