+ description: >
+ Normally, ASPEED WDT reset may occur when system hangs or reboot
+ triggered by SW consciously. However, system doesn't know whether the
+ restart is triggered by SW consciously since the reset event flag is
+ the same as normal WDT timeout reset. With this property, SW can
+ restart the system immediately and directly without wait for WDT
+ timeout occurs. The reset event flag is also different from the normal
+ WDT reset. This property is only supported since AST2600 platform.
