This patch is broken because reset_cpu (in the same source file) calls
set_timeout with timeout=-1 to reset the cpu immediatly. The wd command
only parses non-negative values, so from there nothing strange should be
expected.

Returning -EINVAL on timeout=0 (which means "disable watchdog") is OK
because the imx21 watchdog cannot be stopped.

So in short: please drop this patch from next.

Thanks
Uwe
