[PATCH] checkpatch: fix USLEEP_RANGE test

From: Bruce Allan
Date: Wed Jan 30 2013 - 14:15:37 EST


Do not test udelay() for a value less than 10usec when passed a variable
instead of a hard-coded number; there is no way for checkpatch to know the
value of the variable. As it is today, it will complain about variables
with alphanumeric characters plus '_', e.g. foo_bar, but not variables with
other characters, eg. foo->bar.
