NAME
       parport_set_timeout - set the inactivity timeout for a device

SYNOPSIS
       long parport_set_timeout(struct pardevice * dev, long inactivity);

DESCRIPTION
       This sets the inactivity timeout for a particular device on a port. This affects functions like parport_wait_peripheral. The special value
       0 means not to call schedule while dealing with this device.

       The return value is the previous inactivity timeout.

       Any callers of parport_wait_event for this device are woken up.
