You are correct, I should have used this module parameter when setting timeout;

Thanks for your detail review, in V3 patch series, I follow the suggestion to make
the timeout value to be default first, then try to set the watchdog timeout using
module parameter, if it is invalid, common driver will try to find it from dts node,
if return value is error, it will use default value set and NOT return error during probe.

This makes the error check making sense and NOT break watchdog driver probe even
if the module parameter "timeout" is invalid. Please help review V3 patch series.

Thanks,
Anson
