Subject: RE: [PATCH] Input: Change msleep to usleep_range for small msecs

Hello Aniroop Mathur

Thank you for your mail.

We have used the  usleep_range() function in our new product's driver and the verification result  is working.
Your patch for bma150 is definitely working for sure. 

Just one question need your answer.
To replace the msleep(2),   is  usleep_range(2000, 2100)  better  than usleep_range(2000, 2000)  ?

Best regards

Albert (Xu) ZHANG

Hello Mr. Albert Zhang,

I am Aniroop Mathur from Samsung R&D Institute, India.

I have submitted one patch as below for review to Linux Open Source.
The problem is that we do not have the hardware available with us to
test it and we would like to test it before actually applying it.
As you are the author of this driver, so I would like to request
you if you could help to test this patch or provide us the contact points
of individuals who could support to get this patch tested?

Thank you!

BR,
Aniroop Mathur
