Return type of wait_for_completion_timeout is unsigned long not int.
Check its return value inline instead of introducing a throw-away
variable.

If you want to clean up the code:

        return -ETIMEDOUT;

Also drop the second goto and return directly, drop res and the out: label
entirely, and return 0; at the end. That goto is really pointless.

Thanks for your feedback. I’ll clean up that and resubmit it as v2.

Sincerely,
