Introduce the spin_event_timeout() macro, and update the QE library to use it. This version changes 'ret' to a return value of the macro instead of a variable that's passed as a parameter.

The qe_issue_cmd() function (Freescale PowerPC QUICC Engine library) polls on a register until a status bit changes, but does not include a timeout to handle the situation if the bit never changes. Change the code to use the new spin_event_timeout() macro, which simplifies polling on a register without a timeout.

The macro spin_event_timeout() takes a condition and timeout value (in microseconds) as parameters. It spins until either the condition is true or the timeout expires. It returns the result of the condition when the loop was terminated. This primary purpose of this macro is to poll on a hardware register until a status bit changes. The timeout ensures that the loop still terminates if the bit doesn't change as expected. This macro makes it easier for driver developers to perform this kind of operation properly.

Acked-by: Geoff Thorpe <redacted> Not sure that it's the most consistent formulation, but it's definitely better than debating indefinitely. Cheers, Geoff Timur Tabi wrote:
