Given how common this pattern is is it not more sensible to just
provide usleep() even if just as an inline that's something like

   void usleep(unsigned long t)
   {
   	usleep_range(t, t + (t / 10));
   }

since the usleep_range() isn't ideal for clarity (and usually the upper
bound isn't a particular concern for the driver, it just wants the usual
"delay for at least x" semantics).
