I'll drop this from the commit message, if this isn't appropriate without a
Fixes-tag (which I can't provide anyway).

I could also change this from a usleep to a polling loop that checks (with a
loop limit) if the reset bit has self-cleared already. 

The datasheet that I have doesn't mention how fast it should self-clear. So I
checked, and it appears to be done after one loop iteration already. So,
certainly faster than the current usleep.

Would a polling loop (with maybe like max. 10 iterations) be a good alternative
for you?

Ok, I'll add the extra macro to clarify the intent of the values.


Best,
Sander
