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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
