We could certainly use something like this in the SMMU and GICv3 drivers, so
I agree that it makes sense for this to be in generic code.

I think 0 should actually mean `use the default timeout', which could be
something daft like 1s. Removing the timeout is asking for kernel lock-ups.
We could also have a version without the timeout parameter at all, which
acts like a timeout of 0.

I don't think max_reads is a useful tunable.

Maybe readl_poll_[timeout_]atomic is a better name?

Good idea ;)

This would be readl_poll_timeout_atomic if you went with my suggestion (i.e.
readl_poll_timeout would have an unconditional might_sleep).

What do you reckon?
