In earlier versions of kernel, this had a problem that it works only
for ONESHOT mode and simply returns in PERIODIC mode. I do see that
your's mode is ONESHOT only, and so it should have worked.

Anyway, few prints into that routine to see where we are reaching
might help.

AFAIR, there is a difference between how different mdelay/udelay are
implemented. One of them is using the loops_per_jiffie variable to
calculate the time, other uses clkevt device. I am not 100% sure about
the theory, but that's what I remember. So, have a look from that
perspective as well..
