[PATCH v3 1/2] watchdog: improve w83627hf_wdt to timeout in minute

From: Tony Chung
Date: Mon Apr 01 2013 - 01:59:56 EST


Watchdog should support timeout in minutes.
For example, crash dump will usually require 5+ minutes.

This patch increase the timeout from 255 seconds to (255*60) seconds and should be good for older LTS releases.
This patch need to be rewritten again when this driver migrate to new watchdog infrastructure.

Added a new max_timeout variable so we can change it if needed.
