Are you sure clearing the CAUSE register after masking the IRQs will be enough?

AFAICS, until now nobody unmasks the watchdog IRQ (at least the orion_wdt
driver didn't request the interruption) but *still* the CAUSE register is set
upon watchdog expiration. So I would guessed a masked interrupt still raises a
bit in the CAUSE register.

Although I'm no sure I'm making sense here or just noise...
