Subject: [PATCH 4.19 108/118] gnss: sirf: fix activation retry handling

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

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 06fd9ab12b804451b14d538adbf98a57c2d6846b upstream.

Fix activation helper which would return -ETIMEDOUT even if the last
retry attempt was successful.

Also change the semantics of the retries variable so that it actually
holds the number of retries (rather than tries).

Fixes: d2efbbd18b1e ("gnss: add driver for sirfstar-based receivers")
