Artificial HW reliability tests revealed a possible hangup in the driver. Normally, when device disappears from bus, all register reads returns 0xFFFFFFFF. At remote procedure invocation towards FW there is a logic where result is compared with -1 in a loop. That caused an infinite loop if hardware due to some issues disappears from bus. Add extra result checks to prevent this. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Bogdanov <dbogdanov@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Igor Russkikh <irusskikh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
