Correct, thanks.
Here are all three patches again with another issue I spotted in 
drivers/net/ucc_geth_mii.c:

After my patch it still wouldn't err, because timeout was unsigned.
------------------------------>8-------------8<---------------------------------
with while (timeout-- > 0); timeout reaches -1 after the loop, so the tests
below are off by one. also don't do an '< 0' test on an unsigned.
