Hello John,

I found an issue with the machine_restart function.

The watchdog needs some time for the reset (1 tick of watchdog but many
ticks of the cpu). With unreachable(), there is no valid code after the
register access. Please add some loop like
        while(1)
                ;
here (and a comment).

Can you please create and send an updated patch?

Thanks,
