Adds cpu_relax() to prevent long busy-wait.
There is busy-wait loop to check data transfer completion in polling mode.

How cpu_relax prevents long waiting?

Shouldn't this be just readl_poll_timeout()? Or the syntax would be too
complicated?

As I know, cpu_relax() can be converted to yield. This can prevent 
excessive use of the CPU in busy-loop.

I'll replace poor sentence like below in v3.

("Adds cpu_relax() to allow CPU relaxation in busy-loop")

I think we can replace this while() loop to readl_poll_timeout().

However, we should use 0 value as 'delay_us' parameter. Because delay 
can affect throughput.


My purpose is add relax to this busy-loop.

we cannot give relax if we change to readl_poll_timeout().

That's ok, you just wrote that it will prevent long waiting, so I assume
it will shorten the wait time.

readl_poll_timeout() will know to do the best. You do not need to add
cpu_relax there.

Okay, I will change it to readl_poll_timeout()
