Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: bd96801_wdt: Fix timeout for enabled WDG

From: Matti Vaittinen <mazziesaccount@gmail.com>

When watchdog is enabled at the probe time, the bd96801 driver retrieves
the timeout configuration from the registers to set-up the heart-beat
values.

As Sashiko pointed out at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260722085819.495211F000E9@smtp.kernel.org/
the timeout values are incorrectly computed in driver, resulting wrong
heartbeat. This leads to devere problems if watchdog was enabled at probe
time.

According to the data-sheet, the "too fast" ping limit is configured as
multiple of FASTNG_MIN. Furthermore, the "too slow" ping limit is
configured as multiples of "too fast" timeout. The FASTNG_MIN is set to
11, meaning 1.1 mS and "too fast" and "too slow" limits are computed from
this. Hence, converting the limits to mS should be done by dividing by 10,
not by dividing by USEC_PER_MSEC.

Fix this by dividing the timeout values with correct scaling factor.

Also, drop an extra whitespace while editing the file - feeling like
that single whitespace fix doesn't warrant own patch. Just let me know if
I feel wrong ;)
