Dear Mr. Albert Zhang, Thank you for your confirmation!
Yes, I think usleep_range(2000, 2100) is better than usleep_range(2000, 2000) because delta time will allow the kernel to batch the processes who need to wake up around same time and generate single interrupt to wake up all of them. So this would be beneficial from power saving point of view. -- Best Regards, Aniroop Mathur --------- Original Message --------- Sender : ZHANG Xu (BST/ESA3.1) <xu.zh...@cn.bosch.com> Date : 2016-12-01 11:19 (GMT+5:30) Title : RE: [PATCH] Input: Change msleep to usleep_range for small msecs Hello Aniroop Mathur Thank you for your mail. We have used the usleep_range() function in our new product's driver and the verification result is working. Your patch for bma150 is definitely working for sure. Just one question need your answer. To replace the msleep(2), is usleep_range(2000, 2100) better than usleep_range(2000, 2000) ?

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, so I would like to request you if you could help to test this patch or provide us the contact points of individuals who could support to get this patch tested? Thank you!
