From: Yves-Alexis Perez <corsac@xxxxxxxxxx> wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() return value is either -ERESTARTSYS (in case it was interrupted), 0 (in case the timeout expired) or the number of jiffies left until timeout. The return value is stored in a long, but in _request_firmware_load() it's silently casted to an int, which can overflow and give a negative value, indicating an error. Fix this by re-using the timeout variable and only set retval when it's safe. Signed-off-by: Yves-Alexis Perez <corsac@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Luis R.
