 The watchdog_get_drvdata function allows you to retrieve driver specific data.
 The argument of this function is the watchdog device where you want to retrieve
 data from. The function returns the pointer to the driver specific data.
+
+To initialize the timeout field use the following function:
+
+extern void watchdog_init_timeout(struct watchdog_device *wdd,
+                                  unsigned int parm_timeout,
+                                  struct device_node *node);
+
+The watchdog_init_timeout function allows you to initialize the timeout field
+using the module timeout parameter or retrieving the timeout-sec property from
+the device tree.
