WDD value must be always set to max (0xFFF) otherwise the hardware
block will reset the board on the first ping of the watchdog.

Not sure why setting WDD to the same value as WDV would do that,
but on the other side it looks like setting WDD to anything but
the maximum doesn't add any value either, so

It's a hardware issue.
Normally, setting a WDD lower would allow the system for a little time 
to print out something, before the inevitable reset happens...
In our case, setting WDD lower than max would not allow a single 
watchdog feed, as the first attempt to write the CR would trigger the reset.
This bug was not obvious because the driver was always setting both WDD 
and WDV to max... until timeout-sec property came up in DT which changes 
this.
