Please use USEC_PER_SEC from <linux/time64.h>.

Please use readl_relaxed_poll_timeout() from <linux/iopoll.h>.

	/* Wait for GICR_CTLR.RWP==0 or timeout */
	ret = readl_relaxed_poll_timeout(rbase + GICR_CTLR, reg,
					 !(reg & GICR_CTLR_RWP), 1,
					 USEC_PER_SEC);
	if (ret) {
		pr_err("CPU%d: Failed to disable LPIs\n",
			smp_processor_id());
		return;
	}

Thanks,
Mark.
