While msleep can indeed work and simplify, in case of usage for
example with thermal framework, if the data is not ready and we return
-EAGAIN, it lets the thermal framework go and read other sensors
instead of being blocked on the tmp102 conversion of data.

Eduardo, Rui: what is your view on this approach?
Patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9198961/
