wait_for_completion_timeout(), unlike
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() returns unsigned long, so
the code below checking if 'ret' is negative, is no longer needed. How
about the version of the patch below?

Input: elan_i2c - ignore signals when finishing updating firmware

From: KT Liao <kt.liao@....com.tw>

Use wait_for_completion_timeout() instead of
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() to avoid stray signals ruining
firmware update. Our timeout is only 300 msec so we are fine simply letting
it expire in case device misbehaves.
