Subject: octeon: false positive timeout
From: Roel Kluin <roel.kluin@xxxxxxxxx>
If we reach the test just below the loop with a `timeout' value of 0, this
does not mean that the timeout caused the loop to end, but rather the
`smi_rd.s.pending', in the last iteration. If timeout caused the loop to
end, then `timeout' is -1, not 0.
Since this can occur only in the last iteration, it is not very likely to
be a problem. By changing the post- to prefix decrement we ensure that a
timeout of 0 does mean it timed out.
