Even in best case this timeout should be 40 ms to give enough time to measure 2 channels for sure. So with the current timeout_us requirement we are outside of the range of the udelay timer and that is why I would need a macro with number of tries, not with the timeout value (or timeout value of ms). > > > > > > - } > > > > > > + } while (!(reg_status & MLX90632_STAT_DATA_RDY) && tries--); > > > > > > > > > > > > if (tries < 0) { > > > > > > dev_err(&data->client->dev, "data not ready"); > > -- > With Best Regards, > Andy Shevchenko
