* millisecond wait is not recommended, and wait_ms() should
* be used instead.
*
* @note You may call this function from ISR context, but large delays may
* impact system stability - interrupt handlers should take less than

/** Waits a number of nanoseconds.
*
* This function spins the CPU to produce a small delay. It should normally
* only be used for delays of 10us (10000ns) or less. As it is calculated
* based on the expected execution time of a software loop, it may well run
* slower than requested based on activity from other threads and interrupts.
* If greater precision is required, this can be called from inside a critical
* section.
*
* @param ns the number of nanoseconds to wait
*
* @note
* wait_us() will likely give more precise time than wait_ns for large-enough
* delays, as it is based on a timer, but its set-up time may be excessive
* for the smallest microsecond counts, at which point wait_ns() is better.
*
* @note
* Any delay larger than a millisecond (1000000ns) is liable to cause
* overflow in the internal loop calculation. You shouldn't normally be
* using this for such large delays anyway in real code, but be aware if
* calibrating. Make repeated calls for longer test runs.
*
* @note You may call this function from ISR context.
