From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@xxxxxxxxxx>

Also update Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt to
introduce:
(1)the new elements in the watchdog_device and watchdog_ops struct;
(2)the new API "watchdog_init_timeouts"

Reasons:
(1)kernel already has two watchdog drivers are using "pretimeout":
	drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c
	drivers/watchdog/kempld_wdt.c(but the definition is different)
(2)some other drivers are going to use this: ARM SBSA Generic Watchdog

and then you set max_pretimeout to 19.

So we'll end up with

min_timeout = 31
max_timeout = 20
min_pretimeout = 30
max_pretimeout = 19

Another example: max_pretimeout = 10, max_timeout = 0 -> max_pretimeout = -1.

You'll need to determine valid ranges and then enforce those.
Maybe something like
	min_pretimeout < min_timeout < max_timeout
and
	min_pretimeout < max_pretimeout < max_timeout

Not sure if we should adjust anything to a value different to 0.
Seems to me this is just asking for trouble.
