Prevent a kernel panic caused by unintentionally clearing TCR
watchdog bits.  At this point in the kernel boot, the watchdog has
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.
Panic happens in case of error as silently reboot without any outputs
on serial.
