Hmmm, I did have one of the drivers print more info at watchdog time, but I
just looked
and that's not em, time to add that I guess.

Since you're in the driver there isn't a huge amount of info that you can
print, it still
may not be enough to help.

BTW, I've always been somewhat dissatisfied with the watchdog design and
think
its kinda flawed, I could try and make you an experimental with debug and
some
changes that you can try if you'd like.
