It will run loops + 1 times.  After your change it does run loops times.

The intention was probably that this gets executed if the break in the
loop (trdy == dport->port.line) is reached.  Without your fix, this
branch is also taken if the while-loop terminates with loops == -1
because of the postfix dec.

Your fix is correct but your changelog entry is wrong.
