Mainline Linux tree for various devices, only for fun :)

This is the start of an effort to tidy up and standardise all the delays. Existing loops have a range of delay/sleep periods from 1ms to 20ms, and some have no delay. They all loop forever except rtc, which times out after 10 retries, and that uses 10ms delays. So use 10ms as our standard delay. The OPAL maintainer agrees 10ms is a reasonable starting point. The idea is to use the same recipe everywhere, once this is proven to work then it will be documented as an OPAL API standard. Then both firmware and OS can agree, and if a particular call needs something else, then that can be documented with reasoning. This is not the end-all of this effort, it's just a relatively easy change that fixes some existing high latency delays. There should be provision for standardising timeouts and/or interruptible loops where possible, so non-fatal firmware errors don't cause hangs.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
