Maybe you could convert that to sth. like this along the way?
int ret;
unsigned long timeout = jiffies + msec_to_jiffies(READ_TIMEOUT_MSECS);
for (;;) {
ret = thinkpad_ec_lock();
if (ret)
return ret;
ret = __hdaps_update(0);
thinkpad_ec_unlock();
if (ret != -EBUSY)
return ret;
if (time_after(timeout, jiffies))
break;
msleep(RETRY_MSECS);
}
return ret;
