Ziyan Fu 40efc43eb7 watchdog: iTCO_wdt: Report error if timeout configuration fails
The driver probes with the invalid timeout value when
'iTCO_wdt_set_timeout()' fails, as its return value is not checked. In
this case, when executing "wdctl", we may get:

Device:        /dev/watchdog0
Timeout:       30 seconds
Timeleft:      613 seconds

The timeout value is the value of "heartbeat" or "WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT", and
the timeleft value is calculated from the register value we actually read
(0xffff) by masking with 0x3ff and converting ticks to seconds (* 6 / 10).

Add error handling to return the failure code if 'iTCO_wdt_set_timeout()'
fails, ensuring the driver probe fails and prevents invalid operation.

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 reStructuredText 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.
