I agree on using helpers, but the logic is slightly changing here: yes it is
unlikely (and also probably useless) to get ms == UINT_MAX, but the helper is
limiting the maximum timeout value to 500mS, which may not work for some slow
controllers/devices.

This should get validated on more than a few platforms, and I'm not sure that
this kind of validation would be "fast" to get... so, probably the best thing
to do here is to add a warning in case the timeout exceeds 500mS, print the
actual value, keep it like this for a kernel version or two and check reports:
that would allow to understand what a safe maximum timeout value could be.

Aside from that, I wouldn't drop those nice comments explaining how/why the
timeout is calculated: I know how, but not everyone knows in advance.

Angelo
