[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 246/305] USB: ipaq.c: fix a timeout loop

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Fri Jan 15 2016 - 19:25:03 EST


4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit abdc9a3b4bac97add99e1d77dc6d28623afe682b upstream.

The code expects the loop to end with "retries" set to zero but, because
it is a post-op, it will end set to -1. I have fixed this by moving the
decrement inside the loop.

Fixes: 014aa2a3c32e ('USB: ipaq: minor ipaq_open() cleanup.')
