wait_event_interruptible_timeout() will return early with -ERESTARTSYS
if the calling process gets signalled (eg, ^C was hit).

The driver uses wait_event_interruptible_timeout() rather a lot and the
two sites I looked at seem to handle the signal_pending() case
correctly.

But incorrectly handling signals with interruptible waits is a
frequently-occurring error in drivers. Did you deliberately cater for
this case, and have you runtime tested it?
