Just a question: what prevents the user from supplying non-sensical
values here?
I think we should clamp them to only allowed values because I don't want
to be debugging some strange bugs due to that.
Nothing prevent user from supplying a bogus number. The main question
is, clamp with what number ?
IMO, if user is overriding the default timeout number then its possible
that user is dealing with a buggy firmware which does not work with
default timeout and silently clamping the value will not help them.
