Subject: [PATCH RFC] wlcore: match wait_for_completion_timeout return type

return type of wait_for_completion_timeout is unsigned long not int, this
patch adds an appropriate return type and assignment.

Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <der.herr@...r.at>

The return type of wait_for_completion_timeout is unsigned long not
int. This patch adds a separate variable of proper type for handling
of the wait_for_completion_timeout.

The alternative would be to fold it into the if condition and not use
a separate variable like so:

	if (!pending) {
		if (!wait_for_completion_timeout( &compl,
				msecs_to_jiffies(WL1271_WAKEUP_TIMEOUT)) {
			wl1271_error("ELP wakeup timeout!");		    
			wl12xx_queue_recovery_work(wl);
			ret = -ETIMEDOUT;
			goto err;
		}
	}

not sure if this or the below solution is preferable.

Patch was compile tested only for x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_WL_TI=y, 
CONFIG_WLCORE=m

Patch is against 3.19.0-rc5 -next-20150123
