    Maybe you could convert that to sth. like this along the way?

    int ret;
    unsigned long timeout = jiffies + msec_to_jiffies(READ_TIMEOUT_MSECS);
    for (;;) {
    ret = thinkpad_ec_lock();
    if (ret)
    return ret;
    ret = __hdaps_update(0);
    thinkpad_ec_unlock();

    if (ret != -EBUSY)
    return ret;
    if (time_after(timeout, jiffies))
    break;
    msleep(RETRY_MSECS);
    }
    return ret;

    Rationale: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/14/133 - it's also listed on the
    kerneljanitors todo list.
