Under certain circumstances msleep(1) within the loop, which waits for the EEPROM to be finished, might take longer than the timeout. On the next loop the status register might return to be ready and therefore the loop finishes. The following check now tests if a timeout occurred and if so returns an error although the device reported to be finished. This fix replaces testing the occurrence of the timeout by testing the "not ready" bit in the status register. The patch is against 2.6.29.2.
