Subject: Re: [PATCH] Input: mouse: pxa930_trkball - change msleep to
 usleep_range for small msecs

Dear Yong Yao,
Greetings!

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, I am contacting you to request you
provide your feedback upon this patch.

Also if you have the hardware available, could you please help to
test this patch on your hardware? or could you provide contact points
of individuals who could support to test it?

Thank you!

BR,
Aniroop Mathur
