I'm not sure using 10ms instead of 1000ms is relevant in the below
cases, 10ms is rather short for an IRQ, if your system is under load
you might end up with a timeout, not because the right IRQ did not
fire, but because the handler was not executed yet (it happened to me
in the marvell_nand.c driver recently).

Also, would you mind using a define instead of hardcoding '1000'?
