[PATCH net-next 1/3] dsa: mv88e6xxx: Timeout based on iterations, not time

From: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>
Date: 2016-08-19 01:55:13
Subsystem: marvell 88e6xxx ethernet switch fabric driver, networking drivers, networking [dsa], the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Vladimir Oltean, Linus Torvalds

The mv88e6xxx driver times out operations on the switch based on
looping until an elapsed wall clock time is reached. However, if
usleep_range() sleeps much longer than expected, it could timeout with
an error without actually checking to see if the devices has completed
the operation. So replace the elapsed time with a fixed upper bound on
the number of loops.

Testing on various switches has shown that switches takes either 0 or
1 iteration, so a maximum of 16 iterations is a safe limit.
