No need to use the watchdog for that, just do a checkstop reset.

in m8xx_setup.c:

extern void m8xx_cs_reset(void);

void
m8xx_restart(char *cmd)
{
        /* Wait for serial console message. */
        mdelay(20);
        /* Turn off interrupts and do a checkstop reset */
        cli();
        m8xx_cs_reset();
        for(;;);
}


and in head.S:


/*
 * Perform a checkstop reset of the CPU
 */
#define KAPWR_KEY       0x55ccaa33

_GLOBAL(m8xx_cs_reset)
	mfmsr   r3                      /* Read MSR */
	rlwinm  r3,r3,0,20,18           /* Mask ME bit, and... */
	sync
	mtmsr   r3                      /* ...write back MSR. */
	sync
	mfspr   r4,149                  /* Read DER */
	rlwinm  r4,r4,0,3,1             /* Mask CHSTPE bit, and... */
	sync
	mtspr   149,r4                  /* ...write back DER. */
	sync
	mfspr   r3,638                  /* Load r3 with immr, and... */
	rlwinm  r3,r3,0,0,15            /* ...mask lower 16 bits */
	lwz     r4,644(r3)              /* Read PLPRCR */
	lis     r5,KAPWR_KEY at l
	ori     r5,r5,KAPWR_KEY at h       /* Make sure PLPRCR is ready for */
	stw     r5,900(r3)              /* unlocking. */
	lis     r6,KAPWR_KEY at h
	ori     r6,r6,KAPWR_KEY at l
	stw     r6,900(r3)              /* Unlock PLPRCR */
	ori     r4,r4,128               /* Set CSR bit, and... */
	stw     r4,644(r3)              /* write back PLPRCR. */

	addis   r3,r3,1         /* Add IMAP_SIZE to immr, and... */
	lwz     r4,-4(r3)       /* ...read from a non-existant address! */
	blr                     /* Return if we fail for some reason... */
