[ Upstream commit 000987a38b53c172f435142a4026dd71378ca464 ]
Make sure to honour the max_hw_heartbeat_ms while programming the timeout
value to WOR. Clamp the timeout passed to sbsa_gwdt_set_timeout() to
make sure the programmed value is within the permissible range.

The Fixes line in the original commit is incorrect. This commit fixes a
bug that goes all the way back to v4.6 commit 57d2caaabfc7 ("Watchdog:
introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver") when only 32-bit Watchdog Offset
Registers (WOR) were supported.
Without this fix, there's a truncation on the first argument, of u32
type, passed to writel() in the following situation situation:
Generic Watchdog architecture version is 1 (WOR is 32-bit)
action is 1
timeout is 240s
CNTFRQ_EL0 is 25000050 Hz
wdd.max_hw_heartbeat_ms is 171s
25000050 * 240 = 6000012000 <--- requires 33 bits to store
6000012000 & 0xFFFFFFFF = 1705044704 <--- truncated value written to WOR
1705044704 / 25000050 = 68.2s <--- timeout incorrectly set to 68.2s
The timeout from userspace is greater than wdd.max_hw_heartbeat_ms so
the watchdog core pings at 69s (240 - 171) which results in
intermittent and unexpected panics (action=1).
With this patch applied, the timeout passed to writel() never exceeds
32-bits and the watchdog core + systemd keeps the watchdog happy.
I've validated this fix on real hardware running a linux-5.10.y stable
kernel. Please apply this patch to 5.10 through 4.14. Thanks!
