[PATCH V2] panic: add support to update panic_timeout via DT

From: Jeetesh Burman
Date: Fri Oct 27 2017 - 05:41:02 EST


Add support to set 'panic_timeout' value via dtb to have
control from device tree. This makes sense when you have
multiple platforms support from same defconfig and
differentiated only through device tree blob.
The patch will check for panic time out value coming
from dtb if it exists, otherwise continues with
defconfig provided option.
