[PATCH 3.4 05/91] drm/vmwgfx: Fix a potential infinite spin waiting for fifo idle

[lizf]

From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.4.105-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit f01ea0c3d9db536c64d47922716d8b3b8f21d850 upstream.

The code waiting for fifo idle was incorrect and could possibly spin
forever under certain circumstances.
