[PATCH] iio: gyro: bmg160: wait full startup time after mode change at probe

[Stepan Ionichev]

bmg160_chip_init() calls bmg160_set_mode(BMG160_MODE_NORMAL) and
then waits only 500-1000 us. Per the BMG160 datasheet
(BST-BMG160-DS000-07 Rev. 1.0, May 2013), the start-up and wake-up
times (tsu, twusm) are 30 ms.

The same file already waits BMG160_MAX_STARTUP_TIME_MS (80 ms)
in bmg160_runtime_resume() after the same set_mode(NORMAL)
operation. The 500 us value at probe was likely a unit mix-up;
the old comment said "500 ms" while the code used microseconds.

Reuse the same constant via msleep_interruptible() to match the
runtime resume path. Without this, register writes that follow
the mode change can hit the chip before it is ready.

v2:
- Use msleep() instead of msleep_interruptible() so the wait is not
  cut short by signals during probe (per Andy)
- Add a code comment with the datasheet basis for the 80 ms wait
  (per Andy)

Some process stuff.

Never send a new version in reply to the older one.  Always
a fresh thread - the reason is mainly that the threads become unreadable
if you got to more than one or two versions.

Also, don't send a new version for a reasonable period of time.
Something small like this maybe a few days, a bigger patch 1 week.

That lets multiple reviewers have time to take a look.
If you have a lot on list already then slow down in general and
spend some time helping to review patches coming from others.
The biggest bottleneck in IIO is reviewer time.

Anyhow, I'm going ignore this for a little while at least...

First of all, the same comment, put better description on "why?"
based on the datasheet explanation.

Hmm... This returns an error in case it's aborted by a signal or other means.
What are you supposed to do with that?
