powerpc: Introduce macro spin_event_timeout()
The macro spin_event_timeout() takes a condition and timeout value (in microseconds) as parameters. It spins until either the condition is true or the timeout expires. It returns the result of the condition when the loop was terminated. This primary purpose of this macro is to poll on a hardware register until a status bit changes. The timeout ensures that the loop still terminates if the bit doesn't change as expected. This macro makes it easier for driver developers to perform this kind of operation properly.

+ * spin_event_timeout - spin until a condition gets true or a timeout elapses
+ * @condition: a C expression to evalate
+ * @timeout: timeout, in microseconds
+ * @delay: the number of microseconds to delay between each evaluation of
+ * @condition
+ *
+ * The process spins until the condition evaluates to true (non-zero) or the
+ * timeout elapses. The return value of this macro is the value of
+ * @condition when the loop terminates. This allows you to determine the cause
+ * of the loop terminates. If the return value is zero, then you know a
+ * timeout has occurred.
+ *
+ * This primary purpose of this macro is to poll on a hardware register
+ * until a status bit changes. The timeout ensures that the loop still
+ * terminates even if the bit never changes. The delay is for devices that
+ * need a delay in between successive reads.
+ *
+ * gcc will optimize out the if-statement if @delay is a constant.
