Subject: [PATCH v6] Staging: comedi: convert while loop to timeout in ni_mio_common.c

This patch for ni_mio_common.c changes out a while loop for a timeout,
which is preferred.

Signed-off-by: Chase Southwood <chase.southwood@...oo.com>
---

2: Changed from simple clean-up to swapping a timeout in for a while loop.

3: Removed extra counter variable, and added error checking.

4: No longer using counter variable, using jiffies instead.

5: udelay for 10u, instead of 1u.

6: Scrap udelay entirely, in favor of cpu_relax.  Include asm/processor.h
in order to use cpu_relax.
