Dear Mr. Daniel Stone,
Greetings!

I am Aniroop Mathur from Samsung R&D Institute, India.

I have submitted one patch as below for review to Linux Open Source.
The problem is that we do not have the hardware available with us to
test it and we would like to test it before actually applying it.

Here currently, we are using msleep(1) which is worse as it sleeps for
minimum two jiffies i.e 20 ms on a system with HZ = 100.

As you are the author of this driver, I am contacting you to request you
provide your feedback upon this patch.

Also if you have the hardware available, could you please help to
test this patch on your hardware? or could you provide contact points
of individuals who could support to test it?

Thank you!

BR,
Aniroop Mathur
