Yes, I have also found  that information about the other watchdog. For
the time being we are using the ixp4xx_wdt watchdog but it does not
seem to reset the flash. However, if there is another watchdog and it
could be used and it is confirmed the otherone is better, then why the
R11 resistor is not assembled by default? What about the software for
DS1819 watchdog? It probably needs to be written, if it is not enabled
by default?
