My miss, I will fix this in next version.

I am not sure I know exactly what you suggest. Do you mean I should code
like below to keep the coding style same as the other 2 loops?

	while (1) {
		val = readl_relaxed(base + GITS_CTLR);
		if (val & GITS_CTLR_QUIESCENT)
			return 0;

		count--;
		if (!count)
			return -EBUSY;

		cpu_relax();
		udelay(1);
	}

Thanks,
