This seems like it could be simpler?

eg:

	while (true) {
		ret = poll_vasi_state(handle, &state);

		if (ret != 0 || state == H_VASI_SUSPENDING)
			break;
		else if (state == H_VASI_ENABLED)
			ssleep(1);
		else {
			pr_err("unexpected H_VASI_STATE result %lu\n", state);
			ret = -EIO;
			break;
		}
	}


Or did I miss something?

cheers
