The ice-gnss-<dev_name> kernel thread, which reads data from the u-blox GNSS module, keep a CPU core almost 100% busy. The main reason is that it busy-waits for data to become available. A simple improvement would be to replace the "mdelay(10);" in ice_gnss_read() with sleeping. A better fix is to not do any waiting directly in the function and just requeue this delayed work as needed. The advantage is that canceling the work from ice_gnss_exit() becomes immediate, rather than taking up to ~2.5 seconds (ICE_MAX_UBX_READ_TRIES * 10 ms). This lowers the CPU usage of the ice-gnss-<dev_name> thread on my system from ~90 % to ~8 %. I am not sure if the larger 0.1 s pause after inserting data into the gnss subsystem is really necessary, but I'm keeping that as it was. Of course, ideally the driver would not have to poll at all, but I don't know if the E810 can watch for GNSS data availability over the i2c bus by itself and notify the driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
