I add some tiny comments above...

Yes, I have the same feeling as Laurent, busy loop must be avoided while
holding a spinlock. Even outside a critical section, a way-out must
always be added (timeout, number of iterations, etc.).

There is a nice conference summary by Wolfram about that here:

http://elinux.org/Session:_Developer's_Diary:_It's_About_Time_ELCE_2011

Slides here:
http://elinux.org/images/5/54/Elce11_sang.pdf
The slide named "timeout #4" gives a comprehensive timeout function with
all the needed tricks to make it rock solid. You can also check my use
of this code template here:

Without having an opinion on this precise case, still, here again, no
busy loop without way-out.

Songjun, here I understand better the discussion that we had on the
phone this morning ;-)

So, Laurent I advised Songjun to not move to runtime PM right now that
the driver is under discussion and review. I said that I wouldn't add
some new feature/enhancement now while the first version of the driver
is being corrected for its first inclusion toward mainline...

Do you think that it makes sense to keep like this for now or, as you
suggested Songjun can move to runtime PM right now at the risk of
puzzling a little people who expected this driver to keep the same
feature set between reviews?

Absolutely.

Is there any hints in the datasheet? Is the checking of CTRLSR is
advised in the datasheet as well?

Otherwise, you can contact the ISC designer to ask him what makes more
sense to him.

Laurent, thanks a lot for your valuable review!
