The resolution of msleep is related to HZ, so with HZ set to
100 any msleep of less than 10ms will become ~10ms. This does
not work for us, so stick to mdelay(1).

"this does not work for us" is unusefully vague.  If there was a
user-observable problem then please fully describe it.

Replacing a sleep with a busy wait is regrettable.  (Particularly when
we weren't told what's wrong with the sleep!).

Was the use of usleep_range() considered?
