[PATCH] watchdog: sbsa-gwdt: clamp timeout before updating wdd->timeout

From: Zhu Ling
Date: Wed Dec 17 2025 - 21:33:42 EST


sbsa_gwdt_set_timeout() updates wdd->timeout before clamping the user
requested value to the hardware-supported range. As a result,
WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT and sysfs may report a timeout larger than what is
actually programmed into the hardware.

Clamp the timeout first and then update wdd->timeout so that
userspace-visible values always reflect the effective hardware
timeout.
