The driver uses in_atomic() to distinguish between mdelay() and msleep(). The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should either be separated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the caller, which usually knows the context. I traced the usage of in_interrupt() back to its initial merge: bfe694f833643 ("[ARM] Add ARM AMBA CLCD framebuffer driver.") https://git.kernel.org/history/history/c/bfe694f833643 The driver has been removed and added back in the meantime. I've been looking for the IRQ context as described in the comment and couldn't find it. The functions calling clcdfb_sleep() also call conditionally backlight_update_status() which acquires a mutex. If it is okay to acquire a mutex then it is okay to use msleep() since both functions must be used in preemptible context. Replace clcdfb_sleep() with msleep().
