This ensures that the same value is read back as was eventually
programmed when using seconds as accuracy. Even then, comparing the more
precise heartbeat_ms against heartbeat in seconds will almost never
provide a match and will needlessly raise a warning. Fix by comparing
apples to apples.

Tested in combination with U-Boot as watchdog starter.

To fully work, it also needs a U-Boot patch to add the same 10% margin 
to the clock frequency:
