Powerpc _enables_ the watchdog by default. According to the hardware manual you can only disable it out of reset but never re-enable it afterwards.
from the spec ... SYPCR
This register can be read at any time but can be written only once after system reset ...
I do not think you want a watchdog in redboot. But then redboot needs to disable it, meaning you can not use it in the application afterwards either. On the other hand, leaving it enabled in redboot gives the application a chance to decide. But then you'll end up having problems in redboot if you do not start the application fast enough. Am I missing something ?
