From: Yuechao Zhao <yuechao.zhao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The timeout module parameter should not be used for setting the default timeout. Because, if you set the timeout = 0, the default timeout will be meaningless. And the wahtchdog_init_timeout() can not detect this error because the timeout module parameter of 0 means "no timeout module paraameter specified".
