[PATCH 1/8] iio: magnetometer: ak8975: modernize polling loops with iopoll() macros

From: Joshua Crofts via B4 Relay

Date: Thu May 07 2026 - 10:39:28 EST


From: Joshua Crofts <joshua.crofts1@xxxxxxxxx>

The driver currently uses while loops and msleep() for polling during
conversion waits.

Replace the custom polling loops with readx_poll_timeout() and
read_poll_timeout() macros from <linux/iopoll.h>. This reduces
boilerplate, standardizes timeout handling and improves overall code
readability, keeping the original timing and error behaviour. Add
<linux/time.h> for USEC_PER_MSEC macro instead of using magic numbers.
