Subject: [PATCH][next-next] net: ethernet: aquantia: return -ETIME in macro AQ_HW_WAIT_FOR

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The macro is returning ETIME which means various checks to see if
the returned err is less than zero never work. I believe a -ETIME
should be returned instead.
