rtl8150_reset() is not great, it would be better to use something from
iopoll.h, and return ETIMEDOUT, but it does at least have a
timeout. And it looks like all other such loops have some form of
timeout.

Could this driver use some love? Yes. Does it mean not checking for
get_register() failure makes the driver badly broken? Probably not.
