Good kernel programming principle: Always check for the success
condition when exiting due to timeout rather than the fact that we
timed out.

Also, is this _really_ a loop that needs a timeout condition?  Looking
at the original code, it looks like the purpose of the loop is to read
more than one byte, and you are introducing a 1ms delay between the
read of each byte.
