Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] Add read_poll_timeout_atomic support

Add read_poll_timeout_atomic function which polls periodically until a
condition is met, an error occurs, or the attempt limit is reached.

This helper is used to wait for a condition in atomic context,
mirroring the C's read_poll_timeout_atomic().

In atomic context, the timekeeping infrastructure is unavailable, so
reliable time-based timeouts cannot be implemented. So instead, the
helper accepts a maximum number of attempts and busy-waits (udelay +
cpu_relax) between tries.


v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251021071146.2357069-1-fujita.tomonori@gmail.com/
- revert the function name
- simplify the example code
- add debug_assert to check the range for udelay
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250821035710.3692455-1-fujita.tomonori@gmail.com/
- use the attempt limit instead of timeout
- rename the function to read_poll_count_atomic
- add the comment about C's udelay behavior.
