The default setting for the imx28 watchdog is to do a power-off reset. If the SoC is only powered via battery, then the watchdog powers the chip down, though. According to the datasheet it should still be possible to execute a proper POR with battery power, but testing showed otherwise. When the watchdog power-off reset is disabled, a software reset is executed instead. This works with and without battery power.
