A well timed kernel preemption in the time_after() loop
in wait_for_idle() can result in a spurious timeout
error to be returned.

Fix it by using readl_poll_timeout() which takes care of
this issue.

v3: simplify return path based on comment from Andrew

The issue has not been personally observed by me, but has
been reported by users. Sending for next-next given the
non-critical nature. There is seems to be no easy way to
reproduce this.
