Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Avoid namespace collision within macros & tidyup

Hi All,

The readx_poll_timeout & similar macros defines local variable that can
cause name space collision with the caller. Fixed this issue by prefixing
them with underscores. Also tidied couple of instances where the macro
arguments are used in expressions without paranthesis.

This patchset is based on top of today's linux-next repo.
commit bc4c75f41a1c ("Add linux-next specific files for 20170613")

Change history:

v2:
 - iopoll.h:
	- Enclosed timeout_us & sleep_us arguments with paranthesis
 - regmap.h:
	- Enclosed timeout_us & sleep_us arguments with paranthesis
	- Renamed pollret to __ret

Note: timeout_us cause spare check warning as identified here [1].

Thanks,
