As there is no better solution right now, I'm fine with your patch. But
patch needs to be approved by Lorenzo, so please wait for his final
answer.

I would suggest to add a comment for call "usleep_range(1000, 2000);"
that you have chosen some "random" values which worked fine on your
setup and that they fix mentioned bug. Comment just to mark this sleep
code that is suboptimal / not-so-correct and to prevent other people to
copy+paste this code into other (new) drivers...
