If the chip was in shutdown mode when the driver was loaded, the first
conversion is ready no more than 35 milli-seconds after the chip was
taken out of shutdown. The driver delay was so far set to 333 ms (HZ / 3),
which is much higher than the maximum time needed by the chip.

Reduce the time to 35 milli-seconds. Instead of returning -EAGAIN if data
is not yet available, go to sleep for the remaining time.

Introduce a 'valid' flag to ensure that sensor data is actually read
even if requested less than 333 ms after the driver was loaded.

While msleep can indeed work and simplify, in case of usage for
example with thermal framework, if the data is not ready and we return
-EAGAIN, it lets the thermal framework go and read other sensors
instead of being blocked on the tmp102 conversion of data.

Eduardo, Rui: what is your view on this approach?

My thought was that returning -EAGAIN was more appropriate for the
1/3s wait time we had earlier. With 35ms, it is much more questionable
if we hit this condition in the first place than it was before,
and the impact if waiting is much less severe. Furthermore,
it is no longer unconditional but only occurs if the sensor
was in fact disabled.

But, yes, you have a point. I do prefer to wait, but if Rui and you
both agree that we should return -EAGAIN, I'll be happy to change
the code back to the old behavior.

Thanks,
Guenter
