This patch from Juha Leppanen suppresses a false warning if the eeprom
load succeeds on the very last attempt.

Juha> In function smsc911x_open smsc911x_reg_read+udelay can be run 50
Juha> times with timeout reaching -1, and the following if statetement
Juha> does not catch the timeout and no warning is issued. Also if the
Juha> 50th smsc911x_reg_read is GOOD, loop is exited with timeout as 0
Juha> and bogus warning issued.  Replace testing order and --timeout
Juha> instead of timeout-- and now max 50 smsc911x_reg_read's are done,
Juha> with max 49 udelays.
