Subject: [PATCH v2.1] watchdog: make DesignWare watchdog allow users to set bigger
 timeout value

watchdog_dev.c provides means to allow users to set bigger timeout value
than HW can support, make DesignWare watchdog align with this.

v2 -> v2.1:
    - move Signed-off-by to be ahead of section separator

v1 -> v2:
    - use top_s to compare with wdd->max_hw_heartbeat_ms
    - update wdd->timeout in case it's greater than HW supports
    - fix comments error

v1: initial version
