Hmm. Just noticed this value does not make sense, right?
Maximum hw_margin is 4416 ms. If I read this correctly timeout should
be in seconds - so result is around 2 000 000 seconds here. I think it
is useless value...

Perhaps
priv->wdd.timeout = (hw_margin_max / 2) / 1000;
if (!priv->wdd.timeout)
priv->wdd.timeout = 1;
would be more appropriate.

I need to do some testing when I get the HW at my hands - please don't
apply this patch just yet. I will respin this after some testing - or
if other patches are applied then I will just send this one alone.

Sorry for the hassle...
