Subject: [PATCH 4/5] watchdog: ziirave_wdt: Don't bail out on unexpected timeout value

Reprogramming bootloader on watchdog MCU will result in reported
default timeout value of "0". That in turn will be unnecesarily
rejected by the driver as invalid device (-ENODEV). Simplify probe to
just read stored timeout value, clamp it to an acceptable range and
program the value unconditionally to fix the above.
