From 891f7d73ea30f925596b90bcf21020bfc5d90f3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Altobelli Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:23:53 -0700 Subject: hpilo: reduce frequency of IO operations Change hpilo open and close logic to spin for 10usec between checking device, rather than every usec. Because the loop is coded to take up to 10ms, it seemed prudent to increase the interval between polling the device, to reduce the load on the system and allow more other work to happen.
