 Use following config to set watchdog timeout, if this config is not defined,
 the default timeout value is 128s which is the maximum. Set 10 seconds for
 example:
-    #define CONFIG_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT_MSECS 10000
 Set CONFIG_WATCHDOG_RESET_DISABLE to disable reset watchdog, so that the
 watchdog will not be fed in u-boot.
