Hello,

In the process of cleaning up the remaining schedule_timeout()s in the
current kernel, I came across drivers/usb/class/usblp.c::usblp_write().
in this function, the second (counting by nesting) while-loop seemed
very confusing to me. I believe the following patch would have the same
result but is significantly cleaner. Would someone be able to test this
and / or verify my belief?

Thanks,
Nish

Description: The while-loop seemed excessively blocked with
conditionals. By reorganizing the code so timeout is the condition for
the loop and changing the checks within the loop, several lines of code
were removed.
