[PATCH v2 21/72] ncr5380: Sleep when polling, if possible

From: Finn Thain
Date: Sat Dec 05 2015 - 23:01:59 EST


When in process context, sleep during polling if doing so won't add
significant latency. In interrupt context or if the lock is held, poll
briefly then give up. Keep both core drivers in sync.

Calibrate busy-wait iterations to allow for variation in chip register
access times between different 5380 hardware implementations.

Signed-off-by: Finn Thain <fthain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changed since v1:
- Don't rely on loops_per_jiffy to estimate register access speed, measure
it instead.
