I've tested this. I've changed my delay to a "udelay(25)". It didn't work.

I've done this too. Still no success.

No success, but I've found that I can reduce the delay to at least 200ms. I'll try with lower values.

I hope that my inexperience (and perhapes errors while testing)
don't lead you to wrong conclusions, but from the trials I've done the
only change that at the moment works for me is the 200ms delay.
