Using counter based retry loops for peripherals results in the delay being significantly overrun during high-load situations where delay functions tend to be vary imprecise and overrun there timeouts. So condition the termination on the actual condition of 2s for the re-calibration to have been successful. As this is a very long delay there is no advantage in using high-resolution timers thus switching this to msleep(). Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <redacted>
Applied, thank you.

--- V2: The maximum recalibration timeout should have been 2 * HZ as Dmitry Torokhov [off-list ref] noted - V2 sets the timeout boundary to 2s now. Problem detected with coccinelle script (usleep_range for long delay) The basic model for the fix up here is to use timeout = jiffies + (retry_time) do { check() mleep() } while (time_is_after_jiffies(timeout)); rather than using a counter and have very long retry loops under load conditions. In the specific case it is sleep()/check() though to wait on the previous write to complete. The initial intent was to move the usleep_range() to msleep() as the delays are very long - if this refactoring of the timeout loop is desirable or not is not clear (both time and count based models seem to be common).
