2.5 has the new watchdog.9 component. Here is what I observed:

1. No transition on watchdog.input-0, 0->1 transition on watchdog.enable-in:
   a) watchdog.out-ok goes high for watchdog.timeout-0, then goes low since no 
transitions.

2. transitions on watchdog.input-0 within watchdog.timeout-0, 
   0->1 transition on watchdog.enable-in
   watchdog.out-ok goes high (OK)
   (f) 1->0 transition on  watchdog.enable-in:
   (c) watchdog.out-ok STAYS high (!!!)
   transitions on watchdog.input-0 stop:
   (e) watchdog.out-ok STAYS high (!!!)


the watchdog.9 manpage says:

       watchdog.enable-in bit in (default: FALSE)
              If TRUE, forces out-ok to be false. (b) Additionally, if a  
timeout
              occurs  on  any input, this pin must be set FALSE and TRUE again
              to re-start the monitoring of input pins.

       watchdog.ok-out bit out (default: FALSE)
              OK output.  This pin is true only if enable-in is  TRUE (d) and  
no
              timeout  has been detected (g).  This output can be connected to 
the
              enable input of a charge_pump or stepgen (in v mode), to provide
              a heartbeat signal to external monitoring hardware.

(a) contradicts (b). It does go high on enable rising edge, but turns off again 
after timout. IMO it should stay low if there are no transitions.
(c) contradicts (d)
(e) contradicts (d) and (g).

Since this is potentially dangerous, and I want to avoid shouting 'bug!' when I 
might have some setup or conclusion error, I would be grateful if somebody else 
could reproduce this.
