The watchdog is stopped in apci3501_write_insn_timer() by writing a 0 to
the timer control register. There is no need to read the register first
and mask it (as done when the timer is used as a timer).

I wonder if that was a bug in the original code. Shouldn't it have just cleared bit 0 to stop the watchdog?
