Did you actually test this? The usual reason for wanting m/udelay is that the timing must be exact. The driver is filled with mdelay()s for this reason. The one you've picked on is in the init path so it won't affect the runtime in any way. I also don't think we have the hrtimer machinery for usleep_range() to work properly on parisc, so I don't think the replacement works.
