The reason i recommend ipoll.h is that your implementation has the
usual bug, which iopoll does not have. Since you are using _atomic()
it is less of an issue, but it still exists.

while (!(lan_rd(lan966x, QS_INJ_STATUS) &
QS_INJ_STATUS_FIFO_RDY_SET(BIT(grp)))) {

Say you take an interrupt here

if (time_after(jiffies, time)) {
ret = -ETIMEDOUT;
break;
}


The interrupt takes a while, so that by the time you get to
time_after(), you have reached your timeout. So -ETIMEDOUT is
returned. But in fact, the hardware has done its thing, and if you
where to read the status the bit would be set, and you should actually
return O.K, not an error.

iopoll does another check of the status before deciding to return
-ETIMEDOUT or O.K.

If you decide to simply check the status directly after the write, i
suggest you then use readx_poll_timeout_atomic() if you do need to
poll.
