In my patch it was possible for the inner loop one to succeed, but the
outer one to not do so.

In your's this is not the case so I guess it's OK.

I wonder if it's so wise trying to do two things at once.  Here we are
adding the loop timeouts, and also changing to using jiffies based
timeouts rather than a chip timer register based one.

I preferred my patches because it solved one single problem, the lack
of loop limits.  The timeout mechanism could have been changed in
another followon patch.
