The NXP S32 watchdog, referenced in the documentation as the Software
Watchdog Timer is actually a hardware watchdog. The system has one
watchdog per core but an assertation does not directly reset the
system as this behavior relies on a particular setup and another
component which is not part of these changes. However the first
watchdog on the system, tied with the Cortex-M4 #0 is a particular
case where it will reset the system directly. This is enough for the
watchdog purpose on Linux.

The watchdog relies on the default timeout described in the device
tree but if another timeout is needed at boot time, it can be changed
with the module parameter.

If the kernel has to service the watchdog in place of the userspace,
it can specify the 'early-enable' option at boot time.

And finally, if starting the watchdog has no wayback then the option
'nowayout' can be also specified in the boot option.
