V4L/DVB (6027): Get rid of an ill-behaved msleep in i2c write
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Configuring the OLPC camera requires something over 150 register
writes.  Unfortunately, querying the CAFE i2c controller too
soon after a write causes the hardware to flake.  The problem had
been "solved" with an msleep() call, but, between the number of
registers and how msleep() behaves, that resulted in a 3-second
delay on camera initialization.  Instead, we hand-code a wait for
the completion interrupt which avoids reading the status registers.

* Time to wait for the write to complete. THIS IS A RACY

* register too quickly after starting the operation sends
* the device into a place that may be kinder and better, but
* which is absolutely useless for controlling the sensor. In
* practice we have plenty of time to get into our sleep state
* before the interrupt hits, and the worst case is that we
* time out and then see that things completed, so this seems
* the best way for now.
