I know, my explanation was poor. 
uDoo use APX823-31W5 as watchdog chip. Timeout is about 1.2 seconds. 
To disabled watchdog during kernel boot, WDI pin of that chip needs to
be in "high impedance" state. As far as I known mx6 gpio configuration
does not contemplate tristate, so the option I choose is to set pin as
input and in "high impedance". If wdt gpio is leaved as output che chip
resets.
