[alsa-devel] [PATCH 2/2] ALSA: firewire-tascam: Use do { } while for loops executed at least once

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

If a loop is intended to be executed at least once, it is better to use
"do { ... } while (...)" instead of "while (...) { ... }".
The former is easier to understand for the casual reviewer, and doesn't
require preinitializing the canary variable.
