Following up on Krzysztof's comment to the devicetree patch:
Assuming the watchdog is in low power mode while the system is
suspended, it is all but impossible to imagine what those situations
might be. A reset by watchdog after the system is suspended simply
does not make sense. A system which must not go into suspend mode
must not be permitted to go into suspend mode to start with, or in
other words suspend mode must not be enabled to start with on such
systems.
