Subject: [PATCH] wilc1000: fix a loop timeout condition

If the loop fails, the "while(trials--) {" loop will exit with "trials"
set to -1. The test for that expects it to end with "trials" set to 0
so the warning message will not be printed.

Fix this by changing from a post-op to a pre-op. This does mean that
we only make 99 attempts instead of 100 but that's okay.

Good catch, but wouldn't it be better to fix the time-out check
condition instead? Something a long the lines of:

This way, the loop could actually get executed the number of times
indicated by the initialization of "trial" before issuing a warning
message.

Those numbers are just made up... It doesn't matter either way.
