I would have moved this one down to maintain variable declaration
in the in-famous reverse-xmas-tree ordering. Up to you.

Isn't 10usec a very small delay to be given to usleep_range() for a
delay of at least 3msec ? Also assuming 5msec just to be safe seems a
little arbitrary. Adding 2 milliseconds in the wakeup path introduces
a non-negligible delay.

It's likely a detail, but according to Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst

Since usleep_range is built on top of hrtimers, the
wakeup will be very precise (ish), thus a simple
usleep function would likely introduce a large number
of undesired interrupts.

With the introduction of a range, the scheduler is
free to coalesce your wakeup with any other wakeup
that may have happened for other reasons, or at the
worst case, fire an interrupt for your upper bound.

The larger a range you supply, the greater a chance
that you will not trigger an interrupt; this should
be balanced with what is an acceptable upper bound on
delay / performance for your specific code path. Exact
tolerances here are very situation specific, thus it
is left to the caller to determine a reasonable range.

If you have a min of 3msec I would try with a range of (3000, 3500).
What do you think ?
