   As mentioned by Andrew,  macros defined in uapi/linux/ethtool.h may
be useful here.
   Otherwise it's fine to me :)

      I mean, instead of writing

       int     timeout;
       timeout = 200;

      write,

       int timeout = 200;

Anyway both are correct and there is nothing wrong in your code.
Please ignore my comment here.

   Ok.

As similar type loops are implemented in many places, so I suggested
to implement those in macros
in header file and include it here.
Anyway if you don't agree with me, I am fine with it :)
