I have zero knowledge about this driver, but nvec_interrupt() seems to be
a hard interrupt handler, and sleeping in an interrupt handler is a big no
no. So I think this change breaks the driver.

Delaying like the driver is currently doing doesn't break things, but it is
not very nice because this is interrupt handler and the processor cannot
switch to other tasks, so delaying is wasting processor's cycles here. The
better fix would be to figure out how to remove the delay entirely, or
switch to threaded interrupt handler and then we can use usleep_range() in
there, but you need actual hardware to test such changes.

Best regards,
Nam

Also, pay attention to what else is being said in the timers-howto.rst
documentation. It specifically mentions that usleep_range() uses a range
in order to give the scheduler some leeway in coalescing with other
wakeups, so choosing a range of 32-33 us or 99-100 us isn't very useful.

the real fix to read back the value we wrote to the controller, similar to
what is done for the tegra i2c host, which is a trival fix.
Unfortunately, this breaks the touch pad initialisation, which needs to be
fixed first. As this topic comes up every year, I'm going to post a patch
in order to updated the comment, so this kind of patches should
(hopefully) stop in the future.

Best regrards,
