Subject: [PATCH 4.18 066/235] staging: bcm2835-camera: fix timeout handling in wait_for_completion_timeout

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@...dl.org>

[ Upstream commit b7afce51d95726a619743aaad8870db66dfa1479 ]

wait_for_completion_timeout returns unsigned long not int so a variable of
proper type is introduced. Further the check for <= 0 is ambiguous and should
be == 0 here indicating timeout which is the only error case so no additional
check needed here.
