Since commit 1bf70e6c3a53 ("tools/net/ynl: improve async notification
handling"), check_ntf() would block indefinitely if there's no messages.
In some cases we want to set a limit on waiting time. This patch adds
max_reties parameter check_ntf(), and makes it stop when no message is
recievied in that number of consecutive retries.

Yes, a "duration" is better. The meaning of "retry" or "count" is not clear.
The original check_ntf() is good enough for the test case in this
series. Could you make the change, or do you prefer me to submit
another patch?

I'm happy to make the change.

I have prepared a patch which reverts most of 1bf70e6c3a53 and
introduces poll_ntf(interval, duration).

Jakub, is it okay to submit this as a single patch, or would you
prefer me to actually revert 1bf70e6c3a53? (there's about 5 lines
retained from the original patch).

I'll submit it as a series with a revert and a new patch. The patch is
much cleaner that way.
