It will be Brian choice eventually, but if you say that you will submit that
approach for next cycle, and yours for stable, and that for next you'll convert
mdelay() to msleep(), I'll stop arguing.

How about you push a proper patchset with this alternative (and a nice
cover letter explaining the need for a threaded irq) so we can discuss
properly this new turn?

I think both Maxime's change (polling a new HW bit) and Robert J's
change (move to a threaded IRQ) are good. I'll take another look, but I
expect I'll take Maxime's v4 for the 4.0 cycle, and Robert J's v2 for
4.1 (or will we just jump straight to 5.0? I never know). Will I see a
patch to convert to msleep() and/or a jiffies timeout in the near
future?
