tms380tr driver tries to use udelay (meaning busy loop) for several half 
second delays during hardware initialization. Crazy overly long busy 
wait delays mean no delay at all so driver initialization fails without 
waiting. Fix it by using msleep() for long delays and leave it to 
udelay() for short delays.

You can't use msleep() here because this code can be invoked
from interrupts and thus cannot sleep.

I checked these two functions that contain long delays that I changed - 
tms380tr_bringup_diags() and tms380tr_init_adapter() - to be called only 
from tms380tr_chipset_init() that is only called from tms380tr_open() so 
no call paths from interrupts AFAICS. Short delyas from interrupt 
context are not changed in any way, they still use udelay().

tms380tr_init_adapter() gets called from tms380tr_chk_irq() which is
invoked from the interrupt handler.

Oops, yes, sorry for repeatedly not noticing it even when I was 
explicitly searching for it :(

What is the general course from here? Defer the long reset to a work 
queue, or some other kind of background task?

Yes, very likely a workqueue is the best course of action.
