[PATCH v2 4/4] iio: magnetometer: ak8975: modernize polling loops with iopoll() macros

From: Joshua Crofts

Date: Tue Apr 21 2026 - 06:09:06 EST


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.
