OK I am looking at the func specs of 6390 and 6393x, at the table
descrinbing the Data Path Watch Dog Event register (index 0x12 of global
2, which is the one being written), and the tables are exactly the same.

For every non-reserved bit there is the following:
  This bit is cleared by a SWReset (Global 1 offset 0x04). It will
  automatically be cleared to zero if the SWReset on WD bit (index 0x13)
  is set to a one and this event's Func bit is cleared to zero (index
  0x11).

Moreover only bit 0 of this register (ForceWD Event) is RWR. Bits 1 to 3
(EgressWD Event, QC WD Event and CT WD Event) are all RO. Bits 4-7 are
reserved. (Once again, exactly as in func spec of 6390.)

So I am not exactly sure what is going on. The errata document I have
does not mention watch dog at all.
