It doesn't.

WDT_MODE reads 0x5c in mtk_wdt_init if you want to see exactly how the 
bootloader is configuring it.

off my phone's back cover and remove the battery every time :)

I think what Guenter said makes sense. We should make sure the watchdog 
is started when calling mtk_wdt_restart or at least configured in such 
a way that we are sure it will issue a system reset.
