The current maximum of 255 seconds is insufficient.
For example, crash dump could take 5+ minutes.

I would suggest to use the port to the watchdog infrastructure for any
changes on this driver.

Use DIV_ROUND_UP().

What if the new timeout is less than 256 seconds ?

This should probably also update the watchdog timer register.

Isn't timeout always in seconds ?

That is still a constant, isn't it ? Why use a variable ?

"Resetting" is better as otherwise it might read as an instruction to the user.
Alternatively you could have: "Timeout was reset to ..."

Why is this bit needed in set_time()?

On a general note, one has to be careful when changing
between second and minute modes, if the watchdog is already running
(from the BIOS for example).
