watchdog: iTCO_wdt: Report error if timeout configuration fails
[ Upstream commit 40efc43eb7ffb5a4e2f998c13b8cfb555e671b92 ]
The driver probes with the invalid timeout value when
'iTCO_wdt_set_timeout()' fails, as its return value is not checked. In
this case, when executing "wdctl", we may get:
Device: /dev/watchdog0
Timeout: 30 seconds
Timeleft: 613 seconds
The timeout value is the value of "heartbeat" or "WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT", and
the timeleft value is calculated from the register value we actually read
(0xffff) by masking with 0x3ff and converting ticks to seconds (* 6 / 10).
Add error handling to return the failure code if 'iTCO_wdt_set_timeout()'
fails, ensuring the driver probe fails and prevents invalid operation.
