So in worst case, we'll end up with 4 times mdelay(1) times len / 32.
For a 2048 page, it is : 256ms where everything is stuck (mdelay and not
msleep).

I know you had no choice because this is called from interrupt handler (top
half). But having a irq handler and a irq thread handler would solve that issue,
and you'll end up with msleep(1) in this code.

I don't think an mdelay(256) is acceptable.

Cheers.
