[ Upstream commit 6e2f03e292ef46eed2b31b0a344a91d514f9cd81 ]
Prevent a kernel panic caused by unintentionally clearing TCR watchdog bits. At this point in the kernel boot, the watchdog may have already been enabled by u-boot. The original code's attempt to write to the TCR register results in an inadvertent clearing of the watchdog configuration bits, causing the 476 to reset.
