I'd remove this comment completely. The related code below is quite
explicit and speaks for itself, no need for an extra comment IMO.

    for (...)
        if (!(mask & reg))
            return 0;
    return -ETIMEOUT;

Same here, no need to add some code in a comment.

The rest of the patch makes sense.

Thanks,
