Subject: [PATCH RFC] media: radio: handle timeouts

Add handling for timeout case.

Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@...dl.org>

Some error state/error information seems be get lost int the current code.
(line-numbers are from 3.19.0-rc7.

Assume that on line 827 core->write succeeds but the following 
wait_for_completion_timeout times out and the radio->irq_received condition 
is not satisfied resulting in   goto out;

827       r = core->write(core, WL1273_TUNER_MODE_SET, TUNER_MODE_AUTO_SEEK);
828       if (r)
829               goto out;
830
831       wait_for_completion_timeout(&radio->busy, msecs_to_jiffies(1000));
832       if (!(radio->irq_received & WL1273_BL_EVENT))
833               goto out;


A similar situation is at line 955 - 859 where a tiemout could occure
and the reported value would be the success value from core->write.

852       reinit_completion(&radio->busy);
853       dev_dbg(radio->dev, "%s: BUSY\n", __func__);
854
855       r = core->write(core, WL1273_TUNER_MODE_SET, TUNER_MODE_AUTO_SEEK);
856       if (r)
857               goto out;
858
859       wait_for_completion_timeout(&radio->busy, msecs_to_jiffies(1000)

the problem is that the value of r now is the "success" value from core->write
and any timeout and/or failure to detect the expected interrupt is not 
reported in 

860 out:
861       dev_dbg(radio->dev, "%s: Err: %d\n", __func__, r);
862       return r;

Should the wait_for_completion_timeout not report the timeout event by setting 
r to -ETIMEOUT ? respectively use if (!(radio->irq_received & WL1273_BL_EVENT))
to check and set -ETIMEOUT there ?

Comparing this with wl1273_fm_set_tx_freq - the below patch might be suitable 
way to handle timeout - but this needs a review by someone who knows the 
details of the driver - so this is really just a guess.

Patch was only compile tested with x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=m
CONFIG_MEDIA_CAMERA_SUPPORT=y, CONFIG_V4L_PLATFORM_DRIVERS=y,
CONFIG_MEDIA_RADIO_SUPPORT=y, RADIO_ADAPTER=y, CONFIG_RADIO_WL1273=m

Patch is against 3.19.0-rc7 (localversion-next is -next-20150204)
