From: akshatzen <akshatzen@xxxxxxxxxx> Today in function check_fw_ready we do busy wait using udelay. Due to which CPU is not released and we see CPU need_resched failures. Here busy waiting is not necessary since we are in process context and we should sleep instead. So to avoid busy waiting we are replacing udelay with msleep of 20 ms intervals to check for FW to become ready. It's verified that check_fw_ready today is not being used in interrupt context anywhere, hence it is safe to make this change. Tested: Installed the kernel and looked at dmesg for failures pertaining to need_resched and did not find them.
