I took a peek at regmap_read_poll_timeout(). Nice API - and if we were
to create similar for fields, we should probably make behaviour
identical to regmap_read_poll_timeout(). I see
regmap_read_poll_timeout() is using hrtimers for timeout - which is
overkill for the BD99954 needs. I'd rather keep the msleep here.
