I found this confusing. Interrupt storm happen with level-based interrupts,
but the Droid4 is not affected?

IMHO, having some more or less arbritrary sleeps is almost
always a problem. This value might be enough for some platform,
might be too short for some other, and then it might get too large
for someone else.

Can't we enable the IRQ here, just before the wait...

... and then disable it back afterwards?
