checkpatch.pl reports the following warning for this patch:

WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms; see 
Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt
#26: FILE: drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/phy_n.c:1034:
+       msleep(2);

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 0 checks, 8 lines checked

Have you tested to verify that a sleep as long as 20 ms will not cause problems? 
The referenced document suggests a usleep_range() call.

In general, delay changes should never be proposed without testing.
