Hi Alexey, I just tested the latest trunk (r23118) on my Asus WL-500gP v1 and can confirm that the watchdog reset still works.
I also have a WL-500gP v2 in the office, which should (according to the OpenWRT wiki) have the same SoC (BCM5354) as your D-Link. I'll give it a try on Monday and let you know how I get on. If it doesn't work on v2, then at least I'll have a platform to further investigate this issue on. Re the patch, I agree - applying that patch will effectively turn the driver into a softdog.
