No, waiting for calibration the be under way is what my 0/1 ms does. You are 
waiting for it to be nearly done, which is complete nonsense. One line below 
we are waiting for 250 ms (generally with _one_ pass through the loop -- we 
only wake up through signals) anyway!

The no delay at all from cs4231 is the logic -- when we've dropped MCE, ACI 
comes up (when auto-calibrating) and we only wait for it to finish. For 
ad1848, ACI up may take 5 cycles from MCE down so we delay 1 ms so we know 
we're testing correctly.

No, we are arguing maintaining code. Do not obscure the code flow for no 
reason. Fix your logic or (for what it's worth) I am going to NAK the change.

In sync source-code wise. While the no delay from cs4231 may be the rule, 
ad1848 needs a small delay so if you'd wanted to keep them looking the same 
I wouldn't care about a 1 ms delay for cs4231 as well. If you don't, fine as 
well.
