The instruction
fff031a0:       60 84 ff c3     ori     r4,r4,65479 
actually enables watchdog (65479 dec = ffc7 hex) and SWE is bit 29 of SYPCR.

The 8247 does not have local bus, only 60x, but setting/clearing LBME
does not affect the operation. If I don't enable the watchdog the
system works fine.

Another thing I've noticed, most or even all 8260 based systems have
#undef CONFIG_WATCHDOG
in their config
