Hi,

checking some patches thru www.kernel.org
I noticed in

/arch/arm/mach-omap2/cm4xxx.c

in function

int omap4_cm_wait_idlest_ready(u32 prcm_mod, u8 prcm_dev_offs)
...
       while (((omap4_cm_read_mod_reg(cm_id, prcm_mod_offs, prcm_dev_offs,
                                      OMAP4_CM_CLKCTRL_DREG) & mask) != 0) &&
              (i++ < MAX_MODULE_READY_TIME))
               udelay(1);

       return (i < MAX_MODULE_READY_TIME) ? 0 : -EBUSY;
...

lets assume MAX_MODULE_READY_TIME==1, so it is easier to
see what happens if we exit the loop on the last possible
good read or because i has grown too big(==timeout).

First read&check is not good, i==0, so we delay. i==1.
If second and last read&check is good, we exit loop, i==1, so we return -EBUSY. 
  WRONG!!
If second and last read&check is not good, we then check i, i is too big so 
exit loop, i==2, so we return -EBUSY.   OK!!
So if exit while loop because i gets too big,
we have MAX_MODULE_READY_TIME udelay(1) and i has grown
to MAX_MODULE_READY_TIME+1.

Simple correction could be something like

-      return (i < MAX_MODULE_READY_TIME) ? 0 : -EBUSY;
+      return (i > MAX_MODULE_READY_TIME) ? -EBUSY : 0;

tag would be nice in kernel.org :)
Not so many kernel hackers give credit these days :(

Happy hacking,
