min_timeout = 10
max_timeout = 20
min_pretimeout = 30
max_pretimeout = 40

will result in min_timeout set to 31.

and then you set max_pretimeout to 19.

So we'll end up with

min_timeout = 31
max_timeout = 20
min_pretimeout = 30
max_pretimeout = 19

Another example: max_pretimeout = 10, max_timeout = 0 -> max_pretimeout = -1.

> +	}

You'll need to determine valid ranges and then enforce those.
Maybe something like
	min_pretimeout < min_timeout < max_timeout
and
	min_pretimeout < max_pretimeout < max_timeout

Not sure if we should adjust anything to a value different to 0.
Seems to me this is just asking for trouble.

pretimeout_parm is always invalid ? Why ?

Unless I am missing something, you'll never get here if the pretimeout module
parameter is set.

Please simplify the comment.

	Either at least one of the module parameters is invalid,
	or both of them are 0. Try to get the timeout_sec property.

That comment is not needed; it is obvious.

You need to check the return value of of_find_property() instead of assuming
that length will be 0 if it is not found.

This validates a pretimeout as valid if max_pretimeout == 0,
no matter what timeout is set to.

Do we really need to check if timeout == 0 ? Can that ever happen ?

No 'extern' here, please. Yes, we'll need to fix that for the other
function declarations, but that is not a reason to introduce new ones.
