It's not a sysctl, it is an ioctl against /dev/elan-mmrc. If you kill watchdogd with a normal "kill", it will disable the timer before exiting. Just what you want. When the watchdogd starts up, it enables the timer for a 32 second interval, and then starts resetting it every 16 seconds. If you "kill -9" the watchdog daemon (so it can't stop the timer before exiting) your net45xx will reset in 15 to 30 seconds. You won't find this in the 4.9-RELEASE documentation, it's backported from 5.1.
