If jumpshot_get_status continues to return a failed result then the
wait loop will spin forever because the waitcount counter is never
being incremented and we don't ever timeout.  Fix this by incrementing
waitcount.

the function looks a bit complicated ..
what i about this ?

for(waitcount=0;waitcount<10;waitcount++)
{
   result = jumpshot_get_status(us);
   if ( result == USB_STOR_TRANSPORT_GOOD)
	break;

   msleep(50);

}

just my 2 cents,
