the watchdog timer must be cleared before
the counter expires.

Comments
PM1
The WDT runs but does not reset the chip upon timeout. If active mode is entered just as the timer
expires, the chip will be reset immediately, hence the WDT needs to be cleared regularly (before
timeout) also when in PM1.
PM2 and PM3
The WDT is disabled and reset, and the configuration is retained. The counter will start from 0x0000
when active mode is entered from PM2 or PM3

Clear timer. When 1010 followed by 0101 is written to these bits, the counter is reset
to 0x0000. Note that the watchdog will only be cleared when 0101 is written within 0.5
watchdog clock period after 1010 was written. Writing to these bits when EN is 0 has
no effect.

R/W
Enable timer. When a 1 is written to this bit the timer is enabled and starts
incrementing. Writing a 0 to this bit in timer mode stops the timer. Writing a 0 to this
bit in watchdog mode has no effect.
