Since the times var is an signed int I think we should rather change the condition:

diff --git a/drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/qat_hal.c b/drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/qat_hal.c
index 45c1739..864a5ea 100644
--- a/drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/qat_hal.c
+++ b/drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/qat_hal.c
@@ -186,7 +186,7 @@ static int qat_hal_wait_cycles(struct icp_qat_fw_loader_handle *handle,
 		if (elapsed_cycles >= 8 && !(csr & (1 << ACS_ABO_BITPOS)))
 			return 0;
 	}
-	if (!times) {
+	if (!(0 < times)) {
 		pr_err("QAT: wait_num_cycles time out\n");
 		return -EFAULT;
 	}

Pingchao could you test and send a patch please.
Thanks
