If I understand the logic here, we write a value and we wait for it to
get applied. To confirm that we execute a writel and then we readl the
same address until it does return a value. That is the way used to
understand that the write process has finished and that the value has
been applied/we can write again.

I think I didn't understand, val value will get replaced by readl in
the pool_timeout function.

Again could be very confused and wrong but the pool_timeout macro does
the exact same thing of the wait_for_latch function with th only
difference of handling the sleep differently. We put in val the return
of readl and the break condition as !val. Or I didn't understand the
concern about garbage value.
