The problem here is that at the end of the loop we test for if idc->vnic_wait_limit is zero, but since idc->vnic_wait_limit-- is a post-op, it actually ends up set to (u8)-1. I have fixed this by moving the decrement inside the loop. Fixes: 486a5bc77a4a ('qlcnic: Add support for 83xx suspend and resume.')
