Subject: [PATCH 2/2] watchdog: core: Fix watchdog_init_timeout() when invalid param / valid dt

There was a minor bug in watchdog_init_timeout() where it would return
an error code if someone specified an invalid parameter on the
command line but then there was a valid parameter in the device tree
as "timeout-sec".
