One very specific problem is that da7219_aad_handle_gnd_switch_time()
is currently called after interrupts were enabled. As a result, the
delay time is not initialized if there is an interrupt before the
initialization. This results in a negative value passed to msleep().
Since the parameter to msleep() is unsigned, this causes it to sleep
forever which in turn causes a substantial number of hung task crashes
in ChromeOS. Plus, of course, the code doesn't really do anything in
this situation.
A secondary problem may be that calling msleep() with a potentially
large sleep time on a system worker isn't really a good idea, but I
didn't explore the impact further.
