Idle Loop

Hi Dennis

Wondered if I could pick your brain about a new issue I have.

In the patches I apply ontop of stock Ofono for Sailfish, there is a plugin 
called the Slot Manager.

On 2.7 all is fine.

On 2.9 not so.

The code in the slot manager, after its creation waits for 5 iterations of the 
event loop before disallowing any more drivers to register, and it seems that 
in 2.9, this is much more likely to happen, though its a bit inconsistent.

I wondered if it could be related to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/
ofono/ofono.git/commit/?id=063856a2ba9308e1776a3f906bd2ed9a9f760744 and what a 
correct solution might look like (I understand this is my issue as the code 
isnt upstream!)

Potentially the check for 5 iterations of the loop isnt even necessary (and 
seems very arbitrary!) so Ill test without it.

Is there a reason that the gobi plugin/qmimodem driver combination now takes 
an indeterminate amount of event loop time to appear?

Any thoughts welcome, 
Kind Regards

Adam
