Now looking at the code, yes, while(timeout--) looks prettier, but as 
the $subject patch is in the linux-next for a couple of weeks already, 
that change will need another patch. I'll put that in my TODO, right 
after the RFC for the N900 cameras :) .

Well, anyway these look like a kind of arbitrary values, I guess it will 
work both ways. But, I borrowed the code in the patch from stock Nokia 
kernel, it has been field tested on tens of thousands of devices, so, 
unless you have hard values giving a reason to do it the other way, I 
prefer to keep it as it is.
