Msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms, see
Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt, so we could
use usleep_range instead.

timers-howto.txt also says to use msleep for 10ms+ delays, so the guidance
is a bit ambiguous.

This particular delay does not need to be precise, and if we delay 20ms
instead of 10ms (1/50th of a second vs 1/100th of a second), I don't think
it makes any difference at all.

If we *did* make a change here, I think we should use a range of at least
10ms.  There's no need to tighten the wakeup time to the 1ms window between
10ms and 11ms.  Any time in the range of 10ms to 50ms would probably be
fine.

But I don't think a change here is necessary, and it does make it a bit
harder to analyze the code because we have some things in microseconds and
others in milliseconds.

OK? I got it, thanks for your explanation.

Thanks!
