28.5.8 WDTLOCK Register (Offset = 0xC00) [reset = 0x0]
Watchdog Lock (WDTLOCK)
Writing 0x1ACCE551 to the WDTLOCK register enables write access to all other registers. Writing any
other value to the WDTLOCK register re-enables the locked state for register writes to all the other
registers, except for the Watchdog Test (WDTTEST) register. Reading the WDTLOCK register returns the
lock status rather than the 32-bit value written. Therefore, when write accesses are disabled, reading the
WDTLOCK register returns 0x00000001 when locked; otherwise, the returned value is 0x00000000 when
unlocked.

Watchdog Lock.
A write of the value 0x1ACCE551 unlocks the watchdog registers for
write access.
A write of any other value reapplies the lock, preventing any register
updates, except for the WDTTEST register.
Avoid writes to the WDTTEST register when the watchdog registers
are locked.
A read of this register returns the following values:
0x00000000 = Unlocked
0x00000001 = Locked
