This is the cause of your problems that you think should be solved by
using hrtimer.

Controller may or may not (like MHU) set txdone_irq. However every
scpi command (struct scpi_ops members) is replied to as a response
packet reporting success or failure.
So the client should set 'knows_txdone' to be true unless it is told
the controller on that platform supports txdone_irq (what you call
'ack').
