Subject[18/82] x86, olpc: Dont retry EC commands forever
2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Paul Fox <pgf@laptop.org>

commit 286e5b97eb22baab9d9a41ca76c6b933a484252c upstream.

Avoids a potential infinite loop.

It was observed once, during an EC hacking/debugging
session - not in regular operation.
