Apparently, the reset delays are getting so large they can trigger a
UBSAN panic.

Looking at the code, the current timeout is capped at 5000us. Using a
base value of 100us, the current code will overflow after (1<<29). Even
at values before 32, this function wraps around, perhaps
unintentionally.

Cap the value of the exponent used for this backoff at (1<<16) which is
larger than currently necessary, but large enough to support bigger
values in the future.

Hi, thanks for submitting this patch (:

Going over the logic here, the driver sleeps for `delay_us` micro-seconds in each iteration that this function gets called.

For an exp = 14 it'd sleep (I added units notation)
delay_us * (2 ^ exp) us = 100 * (2 ^ 14) us = (10 * (2 ^ 14)) / (1000000) s = 1.6 s

For an exp = 15 it'd sleep
(10 * (2 ^ 15)) / (1000000) = 3.2s

To even get close to an overflow value, say exp=29 the driver would sleep in a single iteration
53687 s = 14.9 hours.

The driver should stop trying to get a response from the device after a timeout period received from the device which is 3 seconds by default.

The point being, it seems very unlikely to hit this overflow. Did you experience it or was the issue discovered by a static analyzer ?

Regarding the patch itself, I don't mind adding it since exp=16 limit should be more than enough to wait for the device's response.
