3.13.11-ckt33 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter at oracle.com>

commit abdc9a3b4bac97add99e1d77dc6d28623afe682b upstream.

The code expects the loop to end with "retries" set to zero but, because
it is a post-op, it will end set to -1.  I have fixed this by moving the
decrement inside the loop.

Fixes: 014aa2a3c32e ('USB: ipaq: minor ipaq_open() cleanup.')
