There is no point in waiting for a timeout, and then carrying on even
when it is exceeded. As such this patch seems reasonable.
We should also apply the same principle to the ETF and ETB devices
which use the same tmc_wait_for_tmcready() function.

However - the concern is that this appears to be happening on starting
the ETR - there should be no outstanding AXI operations that cause the
system to not be ready - as we will either be using this the first
time after reset, or we should have successfully stopped and flushed
the ETR from the previous operation. This warrants further
investigation - should we be extending the timeout - which is already
at a rather generous 100uS, and do we also need to check the MemErr
bit in the status register?

As James says, we need details of when and how the problem occurs  -
as far as I know it has not been seen on any systems we currently use
(though could have been missed given the current code)

Regards

Mike
