I had the logic inverted for this property in a previous patch.  The 
property was 'no-system-reset' so that when not present the default was 
to set WDT_CTRL_RESET_SYSTEM.   As it is in this patch, the only way to 
indicate that no system reset is to be done is to not specify the 
property.  No system reset is desired under circumstances when another 
wdt engine is to be responsible for this.   Given the issue with 
backward compatibility that's not a solution.  Given this, would 
creating a property 'no-system-reset' be acceptable?

Thanks,
Chris
