It returns -NODEV at the first selftest timeout, so the retry logic
doesn't work. Move the return outside of the while loop to make it real
retry 5 times before returns -ENODEV.

BTW, the origin loop will retry 6 times, also fix this.

The retry logic here was for the controller not returning the expected
selftest value, not the controller refusing to communicate at all.

Could you pease tell me what device requires this change?

Thanks.

Hi Dmitry,

We have a Dell desktop with ps2 addon card, after S3, the ps2 keyboard
lost function and got below errors
Jan 15 07:10:08 Rh-MT kernel: [  346.575353] i8042: i8042 controller
selftest timeout
Jan 15 07:10:08 Rh-MT kernel: [  346.575358] PM: Device i8042 failed
to resume: error -19

Adding this patch, I found the selftest passes at the second retry and
the keyboard continue working fine.

Best regards,
AceLan Kao.

I would like to propose a V2 for this. The original logic allows
continuation to device probe when selftest returns a different value
than expected, and this is no longer available with this patch.
