I would try the test program in the kernel sources: Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-simple.c. It looks like if you kill any other process that has /dev/watchdog open (use "lsof" to check), then start watchdog-simple, then suspend or kill *it*, you should see a system reset after a minute or two. Thanks for testing all this stuff!
