Using secs_to_jiffies() is shorter and requires less cognitive load to
read imo. Plus, it now fits within the preferred 80 columns limit.
Unfortunately, I see this change as a churn and not an improvement.
All patches with any justified improvement are welcome, as long as they are
not automated or bot generated spam.
This patch is reasonable, you need to add [PATCH net-next] prefix in
the title for this patch to get into the pipeline.

This "old code" was added in d74ee6e197a2c ("net/mlx5: HWS, set timeout
on polling for completion") in January 2025.
I got same conversion patches for RDMA.
