Unless you know otherwise I think the same risk exists, RSTOUT could
be (or become) internally asserted when you unmask the bit in the
control register that drives the pin, which says the watchdog driver
should control to it.

I wouldn't have the 0x0, if you want to go this way, just make the
375 compatible string require a 3 entry reg.
