The zero'ing of counter variable k is redundant as it is never read
after breaking out of the while loop. Remove it.

IMHO this is confusing to read, i suggest:
for(k=0;k<1000;k++) {
Bytetemp = rtw_read8(Adapter, EFUSE_CTRL+3);
if ( Bytetemp & 0x80 )
break;

NTL is am wondering what will happen if k==1000
and Bytetemp is still invalid. Will rtw_read8() fail or
simply return invalid data ?

The problem with the original code is that the variable is named "k"
instead of "retry". It should be:
do {
Bytetemp = rtw_read8(Adapter, EFUSE_CTRL+3);
} while (!(Bytetemp & 0x80)) && ++retry < 1000);

Yeah. That was my thought reviewing this patch as well.
It should probably return 0xff on failure.
if (retry >= 1000)
return 0xff;

good point,
personally i try to avoid putting to much into braces, so i
would go for the additional if() but this is for the maintainer.
