Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] regulator: core: Sleep (not delay) in set_voltage()
Date:   Wed, 20 Apr 2022 14:22:13 -0700

These delays can be relatively large (e.g., hundreds of microseconds to
several milliseconds on RK3399 Gru systems). Per
Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst, that should usually use a
sleeping delay. Let's use the existing regulator delay helper to handle
both large and small delays appropriately. This avoids burning a bunch
of CPU time and hurting scheduling latencies when hitting regulators a
lot (e.g., during cpufreq).

The sleep vs. delay issue choice has been made differently over time --
early versions of RK3399 Gru PWM-regulator support used usleep_range()
in pwm-regulator.c. More of this got moved into the regulator core,
in commits like:

73e705bf81ce regulator: core: Add set_voltage_time op

At the same time, the sleep turned into a delay.

It's OK to sleep in _regulator_do_set_voltage(), as we aren't in an
atomic context. (All our callers grab various mutexes already.)

I avoid using fsleep() because it uses a usleep_range() of [N to N*2],
and usleep_range() very commonly biases to the high end of the range. We
don't want to double the expected delay, especially for long delays.

Changes in v2:
 * Add Matthias's "Reviewed-by"
 * Use regulator helper instead of fsleep()
 * Reorder patch 1&2
