Description of issue: Patch with commit id "c1a6c5ac4278d406c112cc2f038e6e506feadff9" has modified ioctl path 'timeout' variable type to u8 from unsigned long. With this maximum timeout value that the driver can support is 255 seconds. But for some commands application is providing the higher timeout value (512 seconds as default), so it will be round off to zero value. Hence timeout is observed immediately and the IOCTL request fails. Fix: Inorder to accommodate higher timeout value change datatype back to unsigned long.
