From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently, the return from readl_poll_timeout is being assigned to a u32 and this is being checked for a -ve return which is always false since a u32 cannot be less than zero. Fix this by changing val to an int so that error returns can be correctly detected.
