Actually, it does not. The watchdog was just an example. I'm
questioning the use of this reset for the switch block. Esp.
as it turns out that not even microchip knows what blocks
are actually reset.

This reset was first introduced for the DSA switch, since then
more and more spurious errors were discovered and it turns out
all of these errors was because the "switch" reset had some
severe side effects, like resetting the GPIO core and thus
turning all the GPIOs to input mode which then took some
peripherals into reset.
