Rather than to poll in a busy-loop, let's convert into using read_poll_timeout() and insert a small delay between each polling attempts. In particular, this avoids hogging the CPU. Additionally, to convert to read_poll_timeout() we also need to switch from using a specific number of polling attempts, into a specific timeout in us instead. The previous 100000 attempts, is translated into a total timeout of total 1s, as that seemed like reasonable value to pick.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
