Subject: [PATCH v1] hwmon: (ucd90320) Increase delay from 250 to 500us

Following the failure observed with a delay of 250us, experiments were
conducted with various delays. It was found that a delay of 350us
effectively mitigated the issue.

To provide a more optimal solution while still allowing a margin for
stability, the delay is being adjusted to 500us.

Why did you not send this patch to the hardware monitoring mailing list ?
Such an omission all but guarantees that it gets lost, so you should not
be surprised if that happens with your patches if you do that on a regular
basis.

I am going to apply your patch (fortunately I still had it in my inbox),
but please keep that in mind for the future if you want your patches
applied.

Thanks,
Guenter
