Why do you use the _MAX suffix here? AFAICS any the timers normally
ensures the lower boundary value of the wait-duration, not the upper
one. So the more correct suffix would be _MIN. On the other hand, as
Alexander correctly noted, using fsleep() would be more suitable at
least from the maintainability point of view. Thus having a macro name
like LINK_WAIT_USLEEP_MIN or just LINK_WAIT_SLEEP_US would be more
appropriate. The later version is more preferable IMO.
