on boot but the driver seems to be properly configuring the chip - if I
kill watchdogd with -9 the board reboots with watchdog timeout.

Are you sure thats the watchdog thats doing the 'killing' so to speak ?
If you have
option CPU_GEODE
in your kernel config, you will get the watchdog code there no ?
