Users report about the unexpected behavior for setting timeouts above 15 sec on Raspberry Pi. According to watchdog-api.rst the ioctl WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT shouldn't fail because of hardware limitations. But looking at the code shows that max_timeout based on the register value PM_WDOG_TIME_SET, which is the maximum.
Since 664a392 ("watchdog: Introduce hardware maximum heartbeat in watchdog core") the watchdog core is able to handle this problem.
This fix has been tested with watchdog-test from selftests.
