Nothing obviously wrong here, but if you are doing another iteration,
it would be nice to separate "Rename ksz_9477_reg.h to ksz9477_reg.h"
from the code changes.

Best regards,

1000 iterations, 1usec each, so 1msec, but you allow up to 10 msec. Interesting.

Are you sure this works? AFAICT "timeout" will underflow, so !timeout
will not trigger.

Hmm. Bug was there already...
