That doesn't make it better and is not an argument.

Meaning the system will reboot unless the watchdog device is opened ?
Weird, and conceptually wrong.

What if the watchdog device is stopped explicitly by the watchdog demon ?

Only if CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1374_WDT is enabled, and then it appears the driver
has other problems such as unconditionally enabling the watchdog.
