In most cases, usleep_range is better than udelay, as the precise wakeup
from udelay is unnecessary.
But, udelay does something different than usleep, are you sure you
should be giving up the cpu at this point in time?

Are you sure you are even in a function that is allowed to sleep? I
don't think that is the case for all of these at all, sorry, unless you
have the hardware to test this change, I can't take it.

I wasn't aware of this, thank you for pointing out.
Since I don't have this hardware, I'm unable to test the changes.
