[PATCH v2] iopoll: use udelay() for initial polling
From: Peter Collingbourne
Date: Tue May 19 2026 - 06:31:49 EST
A short polling delay, such as the delay of 5us
(SPINAND_READ_POLL_DELAY_US) provided by the SPI NAND driver,
can become a 1/HZ (order of ms) delay caused by the usleep_range()
call in read_poll_timeout(), significantly reducing SPI NAND access
performance. Fix it by adjusting the read_poll_timeout() macro to use
udelay() to delay until 1/10 of a timer tick after it is called, and
only then sleep.
Fixes: c955a0cc8a28 ("spi: spi-mem: add automatic poll status functions")
