Was this to adapt to the msleep(1) in the i915 function? If so it's kinda
wrong anyway, since an msleep(1) actually sleeps 1 jiffy, and on most
systems that's a lot more than 1 ms. If it all still works, I'd just drop
this patch here. I suspect that the magic is all in the more aggressive
retrying and the throwaway read, not in how long we actually wait.
