Hi Nandor,

Property "fsl,wdt-continue-in-low-power" allows the watchdog to continue
running in low power modes (STOP and DOZE). By default, the watchdog is
suspended in these modes. This property provides the option to keep the
watchdog active during low power states when needed.
From the cover letter, I see that system should reset if runs into
low power mode. So your system are not allowed to run into low power mode.

If my understanding is correct, DT property should not be used.
You may need to use sysfs or module_parameter for your case.

Regards,
Peng
