Subject: [PATCH][V2] isci: Fix infinite loop in while loop

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

In the case when the phy_mask is bitwise anded with the
phy_index bit is zero the continue statement currently jumps
to the next iteration of the while loop and phy_index is
never actually incremented, potentially causing an infinite
loop if phy_index is less than SCI_MAX_PHS. Fix this by turning
the while loop into a for loop.
