Sure, I can add it. It didn't feel worth it to me since there's no
real functional issue--just that it takes a little longer for these
loops to exit out, but it shouldn't hurt. I guess that means breaking
this commit into several depending on when the offending loop was
added.

Funny, I just followed the tags for other commits to this file and the
"net:" prefix isn't common. I guess this should be "net: usb: r8152".
I can add it when I post v2.
