Interesting, I double checked "my" barebox for this feature, nice to
know.

This sounds neat and not over complicated. Nice Idea, to have a watchdog
enabled at barebox level, why not. The manual required "wd -x" is fine.
I have a beaglebone board, added CONFIG_WATCHDOG and manual enabling
watchdog via "wd 120" and disabling vie "wd -x" works fine. Now I wonder
how to enable at boot up.

?
I can't test at the moment because I am remote and cant handle a abused
crashing barebox at the moment. It compiles, though!
The passwort entry approach is kinda neat to, I will investigate this
feature too.
Kind Regards
