I have not tried to understand the rest of the code, but this is just wrong.
The whole point of having max_hw_heartbeat_ms is to make the actual timeout
independent of the maximum hardware timeout.

As for the rest of the changes, max_hw_heartbeat_ms should be set to the
maximum hardware timeout. Similar, the minimum timeout should be set
to the minimum timeout possible. As such, the checks added above should
not be necessary. Something looks wrong, but I won't spend time trying to
understand this because, again, limiting the actual timeout to
max_hw_heartbeat is just wrong.
