Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mtd: sh_flctl: fixup wait_for_completion_timeout return handling

wait_for_completion_timeout() returns unsigned long not int so the check 
for <= should be == and the type unsigned long. This fixes up the return 
value handling and returns -ETIMEDOUT on timeout rather than 0 and 1 on 
on success rather than a more or less random remaining number of jiffies.

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

call sites:
read_fiforeg,write_ec_fiforeg assume > 0 == success
and the comment in flctl_dma_fifo0_transfe states
        /* ret > 0 is success */
        return ret;
since it is only checking for > 0 in the call-sites
returning -ETIMEDOUT should be fine.

Patch was compile tested with ap325rxa_defconfig (implies
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_SH_FLCTL=y)

Patch is against 4.1-rc1 (localversion-next is -next-20150501)
