backwards busy wait using "time_before()"??

[Robert P. J. Day]

  if this is an idiotic question, i'll blame it on the fact that
there's only decaf left in the house.

  from drivers/spi/spi_stmp.c:

   #define busy_wait(cond)                                              \
        ({                                                              \
        unsigned long end_jiffies = jiffies + STMP_SPI_TIMEOUT;         \
        bool succeeded = false;                                         \
        do {                                                            \
                if (cond) {                                             \
                        succeeded = true;                               \
                        break;                                          \
                }                                                       \
                cpu_relax();                                            \
        } while (time_before(end_jiffies, jiffies));                    \
        succeeded;                                                      \
        })


  is it just me, or do those arguments to time_before() look
backwards?
