Right. v2 computes the elapsed time with an unsigned subtraction, so the
wait can never exceed RYUJIN_SOURCE_CHANGE_INTERVAL:

	unsigned long interval = msecs_to_jiffies(RYUJIN_SOURCE_CHANGE_INTERVAL);

	elapsed = jiffies - priv->source_changed;
	if (elapsed < interval)
		msleep(jiffies_to_msecs(interval - elapsed));

Patch 1 has no timing code and is unchanged. v2 follows tomorrow,
retested on the RYUJIN III 360.

Thanks,
Zac
