Some watchdogs require a minimum time between heartbeats.
Examples are the watchdogs in DA9062 and AT91SAM9x.

* max_timeout: the watchdog timer's maximum timeout value (in seconds),
as seen from userspace. If set, the maximum configurable value for
'timeout'. Not used if max_hw_heartbeat_ms is non-zero.
* min_hw_heartbeat_ms: Minimum time between heartbeats sent to the chip,
in milli-seconds.
* max_hw_heartbeat_ms: Maximum hardware heartbeat, in milli-seconds.
If set, the infrastructure will send heartbeats to the watchdog driver
if 'timeout' is larger than max_hw_heartbeat_ms, unless WDOG_ACTIVE
