qed_mcp_nvm_read has a loop where it calls qed_mcp_nvm_rd_cmd with the argument b_can_sleep=false. And it sleeps once every 0x1000 bytes read. Simplify this by letting qed_mcp_nvm_rd_cmd itself sleep (b_can_sleep=true). It will have slept at least once when successful (in the "Wait for the MFW response" loop). So the extra sleep once every 0x1000 bytes becomes superfluous. Delete it. On my test system with voluntary preemption, this lowers the latency caused by 'ethtool -d' from 53 ms to 10 ms.

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 reStructuredText 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.
