Why does brcm_patchram_plus wait almost infinite after Done setting line discpline

[GoogleCodeExporter]

During use with the option enable_hci the program waits for almost infinite:

        if (enable_hci) {
                proc_enable_hci();

                while (1) {
                        sleep(UINT_MAX);
                }
        }

UINT_MAX is a very big value.

While ending the program with ^C after the message "Done setting line 
discpline" seem to be working fine.

Is the sleep really requered ?

I have removed the while(1) loop from the code as test and it works fine for a 
cubietruck board.

Command sequence:

root@cubian:~# echo -n "" > /dev/ttyS1  # i have to open the ttyS1 line as 
mentioned earlyer.

root@cubian:~# brcm_patchram_plus -d  --patchram
