Except this version no longer does what Vignesh suggested. See how you
no longer test if chip_good() is true if time_after() returns true. So,
imagine the thread entering this function is preempted just after the
first chip_good() test, and resumed a few ms later. time_after() will
return true, but chip_good() might also return true, and you ignore it.
