Ping. Is there anything that still needs to be changed for this driver
to be acceptable?
It is on my radar. I'm reviewing it.

Can you elaborate the workaround mentioned in the changelog. I have been
digging into the lkml@ thread but it is not clear if the issue is
related to the time framework, the driver itself or whatever else. Can
you clarify that ?
Do you have comments on any remaining issues other than this
workaround? If not I don't mind removing the workaround and trying to
solve the issue separately later. Let me know and either way I'll
submit a v8.
One question of interest to me is whether this patchset prevents the
RCU CPU stall warnings that you are seeing.
With the 5ms minimum delta, I didn't observe any rcu_sched stall
warnings. At 2.5ms I thought it was gone but eventually saw one. With
the previous mindelta = 1, i.e. 1 hardware bus period, I get the
stalls regularly.
