OK, I will submit a version 2 with a #define for the timeout/retry count.

The message is clearly wrong, but your point is well taken: an
erroneous error message fix doesn't really belong in a patch for
reliable operation on OMAP4.
Version 2 of this patch will address only the reliability issues and
your request for a timeout #define.
I will then do a subsequent patch (not part of this series) to fix
erroneous error messages, potential infinite loops, and a variety of
whitespace and style issues.

Steve
