[PATCH RFC] staging: fieldbus: anybus-s: use proper type for wait_for_completion_timeout

From: Nicholas Mc Guire
Date: Sat Apr 27 2019 - 00:32:53 EST


wait_for_completion_timeout() returns unsigned long (0 on timeout or
remaining jiffies) not int. thus there is no negative case to check for
here.

Problem located with experimental API conformance checking cocci script

Q: It is not really clear if the proposed fix is the right thing here or if
this should not be using wait_for_completion_interruptible - which would
return -ERESTARTSYS on interruption. Someone that knows the details of
this driver would need to check what condition should initiate the
goto err_reset; which was actually unreachable in the current code.

Patch was compile-tested with. x86_64_defconfig + FIELDBUS_DEV=m,
HMS_ANYBUSS_BUS=m
(some unrelated sparse warnings (cast to restricted __be16))

Patch is against 5.1-rc6 (localversion-next is next-20190426)
