There is a confusing naming here, heartbeats is used instead of timeout where the real meaning is timeout in various places. Remove the unused WDT_TIMEOUT variable, which used to be a heartbeat value. Rename WDT_HEARTBEAT into WDT_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT and rename "heartbeats" into "timeout" in pr_ strings where necessary. Rename the "enabled" in the watchdog welcome message ("enabled (timeout = %d sec, nowayout = %d)\n") to "initialized", the watchdog user land timeout and nowayout values are not used before userland starts to pat the watchdog, reduce confusion by not telling those values are used right now while there are not.
