This wording makes it sound like the watchdog block has more than one
clock input. Does it?

Just say "the watchdog timeout interrupt", or (better) use the name of
the interrupt from the documentation.

That's a bit of an ambiguous name (too easy to misconstrue as a reset
device reference). Do any other watchdogs have similar properties?

Thanks,
