I would suggest using WRITE_ONCE() for that, because without the
volatile the compiler need not actually emit the store until after the
whole waiting thing _IF_ it can inline the whole thing.
Currently udelay() will end up being a function call and will therefore
force the store to be emitted, but I'd rather not rely on that.
