As I know, cpu_relax() can be converted to yield. This can prevent
excessive use of the CPU in busy-loop.
I'll replace poor sentence like below in v3.

I think we can replace this while() loop to readl_poll_timeout().
However, we should use 0 value as 'delay_us' parameter. Because delay
can affect throughput.
My purpose is add relax to this busy-loop.
we cannot give relax if we change to readl_poll_timeout().
