30 seconds is quite common. I don't really mind 10 seconds, if that makes
sense for this platform, but in some cases it is a bit low.

Not anymore if the maximum hardware timeout is specified.

The difficulty in this case is that 'timeout' no longer reflects
the hardware timeout, but the logical timeout set from user space.
Maybe we can come up with a better mechanism (maybe two separate variables),
but for now drivers which set the maximum HW timeout have to check the
value range.
