I think you should use one of the jiffies time comparison functions, e.g.,
time = jiffies + (HZ / 10);
while (time_before(jiffies,time) {
...
}
What is the possibility that __dcc_getstatus() will return garbage if no
JTAG is connected ? In that event you're likely to get a false positive
on DCC_STATUS_TX.
