Hi Bryan,

Thank you for the patch.

I can't comment on the validity of the fix, but nothing shocks me in the
patch, so I'm fine with it.

Now that you don't sleep anymore, I think you can drop the inclusion of
linux/delay.h.

This function could become void, especially given that its only caller
doesn't check the return value.
