usleep_range()?

Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but this loop now depends on the frequency
of the various clocks involved and therefore might break at some point
if the frequencies get sufficiently high.

So a slightly safer implementation would use a proper timeout using a
combination of msecs_to_jiffies(), time_before() and usleep_range(),
like so:

	timeout = jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(...);

	while (time_before(jiffies, timeout)) {
		command = nv_rd32(...) & 0x3f;
		if (command == 0)
			break;

		usleep_range(...);
	}

	if (time_after(jiffies, timeout))
		nv_warn(...);

This assumes that there's some known timeout after which the ringmaster
is expected to have acked the interrupt. On that note, I wonder if the
warning is accurate here: it's my understanding that writing 0x2 to the
register does acknowledge the interrupt, so the ringmaster does in fact
"clear" it rather than "acknowledge" it, doesn't it?

Although now that I mention it I seem to remember that this write is
actually sending a command to the ring master and perhaps waiting for
the register to return to 0 is indeed waiting for an ACK of sorts. Maybe
adding a comment or so describing what this sequence does would be
appropriate here?
