Users report about the unexpected behavior for setting timeouts above 15 sec on Raspberry Pi. According to watchdog-api.rst the ioctl WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT shouldn't fail because of hardware limitations. But looking at the code shows that max_timeout based on the register value PM_WDOG_TIME_SET, which is the maximum. Since664a39236e("watchdog: Introduce hardware maximum heartbeat in watchdog core") the watchdog core is able to handle this problem. This fix has been tested with watchdog-test from selftests.

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 Restructured Text 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.
