I don't see halting the machine as a must-have feature either, but it
seemed to me

that there could be other people relying on it. I'll remove this patch
from the series.

Unfortunately, in this case it is not possible to stop the watchdog once
started.

The only way to halt the machine is to disable the watchdog reset source.
