Ah, right, true. I missed that aspect because on my HW, triggering a
system-level reset on WS1 is optional. I can actually get an interrupt
on both WS0 and WS1, and no reset at all.

But a normal configuration indeed involves having the WS1 event
configured in HW to be a system-level reset.

So, OK, it makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!
