Thanks for testing.

Try changing the 1000 in line 658 to 10000.  Your EC seems to take more
than 1 ms to respond.  The old behavior was 10 ms which I thought was too
long but apparently your system requires this.

BTW, what are the guidelines for DELAY vs. msleep?  I'm holding a mutex
for the local EC for up to 10 ms in that case, in increments of DELAY(10).
I would think that somewhere around 1 ms, the delay needs to become an
msleep so other device interrupts can occur (i.e. EcGpeHandler).  I'm
thinking about having the loop up to 1 ms be based on DELAY, and then 9
calls to msleep(..., 1) for the really slow devices.  Let me know what you
think is best.
