If possible it's preferable not to pre-initialise your return value.

If you leave it uninitialised then the compiler can (hopefully) detect any
paths where you fail to initialise it.

Can't you just do:

	while (max_wait > 0) {

?

I realise you've just indented that code, but it would be nice to clean it up
as a precursor patch.

AFAICS the args are identical, so you could just put the token in a variable
and do the rtas_call() once. It also looks like we check at startup that we
have one of the tokens, so we could choose the appropriate token then and avoid
any conditinals in this code.

Can you use rtas_busy_delay() ?
