Subject: [PATCH 2/3] iio: qcom-spmi-iadc: cleanup wait_for_completion return handling

This patch fixes two issues:
* return type of wait_for_completion_timeout is unsigned long not int,
rather than adding a dedicated variable the wait_for_completion_timeout
is moved into the condition directly
* the timeout of wait_for_completion_timeout is in jiffies but the value
being passed was a unsigned long not converted to jiffies and thus was
dependent on the HZ settings which is probably not what you want.

Note that the timeout value changed very significantly as wait was
initially in the range of 2 milliseconds, so this converts to 1 jiffies
for HZ < 1000 and 2 jiffies for HZ=1000 - thus the timeout value changed
by 3 orders of magnitude. This needs a review by someone that knows the
details of the hardware to judge if this change is ok - in any case the
timeout passed should go through usecs_to_jiffies or msecs_to_jiffis and
to ensure it is no longer HZ dependent.

Patch was compile tested only for imx_v6_v7_defconfig + CONFIG_IIO=m
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y, CONFIG_SPMI=m, CONFIG_QCOM_SPMI_IADC=m

Patch is against 3.19.0-rc6 -next-20150130

Ivan, need your Ack / Reviewed-by on this one.

Looks superficially fine to me, but as Nicholas has observed, hardware
knowledge / testing required!

Yes, change is correct, as explained before [1].
