This series modernizes and cleans up the ak8975 driver, migrating to
more modern kernel APIs and cleaning up legacy code.
Changes include:
- replacing usleep_range() with fsleep() for optimization
- migrating to iopoll macros for better device polling
- removing unused headers and adding new ones
- checkpatch.pl fixes
v2:
- PATCH 1: reverted alphabetical header ordering per logical change
separation
- PATCH 2: added newline between fsleep() and return
- PATCH 3: fixed open parenthesis formatting
- PATCH 4: fixed whitespace issues, added <linux/time.h> for
USEC_PER_MSEC macro
v3:
- PATCH 1 & 2: split alphabetical ordering and header removal into two
separate patches
- PATCH 4: commit message fix
- PATCH 5 & 6: split error handling and polling loop replacement into
two separate patches

Sort include headers alphabetically to improve coding style and
readability.
No functional change.

Remove kernel.h proxy header and unused headers (slab.h, iio/sysfs.h,
iio/trigger.h). Add missing headers to ensure atomicity (array_size.h,
dev_printk.h, asm/byteorder.h, irqreturn.h, minmax.h, property.h,
types.h, wait.h).

Replace usleep_range() calls with fsleep(), passing the minimum value
required by the sensor for hardware delays.
fsleep() automatically selects the optimal sleep mechanism, simplifying
driver code and time management.

Change 'u8*' cast to 'u8 *' as the former triggers a checkpatch error.
Also fix the indentation of parameters in
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated() function.

The driver currently returns -EINVAL on polling timeout instead of
-ETIMEDOUT.
Replace return code for -ETIMEDOUT and remove unnecessary error message
as error is described enough by error code.

The driver currently uses while loops and msleep() for polling during
conversion waits.
Replace the custom polling loops with readx_poll_timeout() and
read_poll_timeout() macros from <linux/iopoll.h>. This reduces
boilerplate, standardizes timeout handling and improves overall code
readability, keeping the original timing and error behaviour. Add
<linux/time.h> for USEC_PER_MSEC macro instead of using magic numbers.

The idea is to drop messages because this is well established error code
and we have a POSIX message being associated with that (meaning all libc
implementations should follow). That said, it's not described by the error
code, it can simply be retrieved from libc *based on the error code*.
Can you rephrase that?
...
You also want to align the code in
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v7.0/source/drivers/iio/magnetometer/ak8975.c#L700
The all three wait_conv...*() are called by the same user in a single
if-else-if chain.
There are two definitions:
#define ETIME 62 /* Timer expired */
#define ETIMEDOUT 110 /* Connection timed out */
For IO the first one makes no sense.
The driver says
` /* Wait for the conversion to complete. */
which implies the IO with the device, and "Connection timed out" maybe not
the clearest form of it but better than "Timer expired" which rather misleading.

5 out of 6 are good, one needs a bit more as it's a new patch in this version.
Also, wait a bit I'll send a couple more that you may incorporate in your
series. Btw, are you familiar with `b4` tool? If not, good time to start
playing with it.

out the manual
a bit more.

Sure, I know that these are just regular errno.h codes, I could've elaborated

That is odd, it definitely should be -ETIMEDOUT.

Just checking in on this, since I haven't seen any changes on lore.
Btw, b4 really does save *a lot* of time.

Sorry for the delay (if you want to help, start reviewing others' patches in
IIO mailing list, you also learn from that). Now when I got my email pipeline

I wasn't sure that I can just start reviewing, so good to know. No worries about
the delay.

Patch title should not focus on just removing headers. Maybe
"update header to reflect what is actually used"
