Check the return value of 'watchdog_init_timeout()' for checking the
timeout module parameter is in the min-max range.

The timeout module parameter should not be used for setting the default
timeout. Because, if you set the timeout = 0, the default timeout will
be meaningless. And the wahtchdog_init_timeout() can not detect this
error because the timeout module parameter of 0 means "no timeout
module paraameter specified".

Please fix the subject. It should start with "hwmon: (nct7904)"

Why ? The idea of returning an error from watchdog_init_timeout
is to give the driver a chance to select a default, not to refuse
loading the driver.

Please fix the subject to something like "hmwmon: (nct7904) Set default timeout".

Also, the change only makes sense if you also change "static int timeout"
to default to 0. Then you can just drop patch 1/2.
