The unit of timeout is seconds. You're comparing to ms/1000, which are
microseconds. I think the existing test is correct?

As far as integer overflow is concerned, max_hw_heartbeat_ms is an
unsigned int. We set it to 4294967, which *1000 = 0xfffffed8. This
should be fine.

This might be the correct thing to do though. I'll defer to the
watchdog maintainers for their input.

Cheers,

Joel
