All right, I think this guy's ready to go now! Thanks for all the help!

2: Changed from simple clean-up to swapping a timeout in for a while loop.

3: Removed extra counter variable, and added error checking.

4: No longer using counter variable, using jiffies instead.

5: udelay for 10u, instead of 1u.
