It's used as a loop counter, with udelay()s in the various loops. On the DB1300 board I observed that the function "wait_master_done()" returns an error due to the loop counter reaching zero when accessing the WM8731; an adm1025 hwmon actually works without this patch. That timeout is more or less a safeguard against busy waiting forever on various event bits.
