With !ac->vf_unload_timeout option, this message may not be correctly showing err, status. Probably you want to add explicit information during timeouts so that it give right information ? Or have the err, status field properly updated.

Is there a case where gdma_dev be invalid here ? If so, lets check the state and then proceed further ?

IMHO we should have macros instead of magic numbers (5 , 30 or so). But would like others to comment here.
