This defines for reference. There no documentation for this chips, so
I left this defines as some kind of documentation.

AFAIK some of chips have a HW bug in restarting unit, so chip specific
restart routine (in arch code) use a lot of hacks to reset chip. So we
use interrupt to call reset function, which should reliably reset
chip.

Sure. But without reset function call from the interrupt handler we
can not reliable reset chip (see above).

To protect against spurious interrupts, since the watchdog timer could
be started by bootloader.

The started variable is set to true inside the watchdog start routine,
but it never reset to false. This code only disable the watchdog when
it was started by bootloader.

Sure, I will try to do that.

While the watchdog is running, the watchdog core prevents the module
unloading, so this routine could not be called while the watchdog is
running. Isn't it?
