Thanks a lot. Can you please send a new version of this patch with this 
information in the commit message? Please also mention why 200 ms is a 
good upper limit.

The code currently waits and then possibly breaks the loop. Should the 
if-branch be located before the mdelay() statement to avoid any 
unnecessary waiting?

Please also send the patch from your Aspeed email address. Our scripts 
do not accept patches where the sender differs from the Signed-off-by tag.

Best regards
Thomas
