Subject: watchdog: wdat_wdt: Set the min and max timeout values properly
References: bsc#1194023
Git-commit: 926e099267950f3b4442eb48dffc5cc3a870ad34
Patch-mainline: v6.1-rc1

The wdat_wdt driver is misusing the min_hw_heartbeat_ms field. This
field should only be used when the hardware watchdog device should not
be pinged more frequently than a specific period. The ACPI WDAT
"Minimum Count" field, on the other hand, specifies the minimum
timeout value that can be set. This corresponds to the min_timeout
field in Linux's watchdog infrastructure.

Setting min_hw_heartbeat_ms instead can cause pings to the hardware
to be delayed when there is no reason for that, eventually leading to
unexpected firing of the watchdog timer (and thus unexpected reboot).

Since commit 6d72c7ac9fbe ("watchdog: wdat_wdt: Using the existing
function to check parameter timeout"), min_timeout is being set too,
but to the arbitrary value of 1 second, which doesn't make sense and
allows setting timeout values lower that the ACPI WDAT "Minimum
Count" field.

I'm also changing max_hw_heartbeat_ms to max_timeout for symmetry,
although the use of this one isn't fundamentally wrong, but there is
also no reason to enable the software-driven ping mechanism for the
wdat_wdt driver.
