Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 08/58] ACPI: watchdog: Set default timeout in probe

From: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@...ux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit cabe17d0173ab04bd3f87b8199ae75f43f1ea473 ]

If the BIOS default timeout for the watchdog is too small userspace may
not have enough time to configure new timeout after opening the device
before the system is already reset. For this reason program default
timeout of 30 seconds in the driver probe and allow userspace to change
this from command line or through module parameter (wdat_wdt.timeout).
