[Qemu-devel] [PULL for-2.5 1/3] eepro100: Prevent two endless loops

[Jason Wang]

From: Stefan Weil <address@hidden>

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-11/msg04592.html
shows an example how an endless loop in function action_command can
be achieved.

During my code review, I noticed a 2nd case which can result in an
endless loop.
