I don't mean replacing the whole function, you can still do polling with
i.e. doing usleep_range(1000, 2000) with 1000 retries. The advantage of
doing it this way would be that processor could do some useful work or
sleep during wait time instead of just busy waiting.
One example of many how to do it:
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-s3c2410.c:
static bool is_ack(struct s3c24xx_i2c *i2c)
{
int tries;
for (tries = 50; tries; --tries) {
if (readl(i2c->regs + S3C2410_IICCON)
& S3C2410_IICCON_IRQPEND) {
if (!(readl(i2c->regs + S3C2410_IICSTAT)
& S3C2410_IICSTAT_LASTBIT))
return true;
}
usleep_range(1000, 2000);
}
dev_err(i2c->dev, "ack was not recieved\n");
return false;
}
