OK.

Hm, why do you set it to zero? In the (fairly unlikely) case where you
never go through the loop at all, because you're preempted until the
timeout has completed, what value do you want it to return?

Don't just make changes by bashing on the keyboard until the compiler
shuts up; please apply brain.

That way, I think you'll notice that the return value from this function
is completely screwed anyway.... Vimal? Shouldn't it be returning
NAND_STATUS_FAIL in the failure case, not a value read directly from the
hardware register? And shouldn't there be a cpu_relax() (or even
schedule) in there too?
