init_freecom() is never called in atomic context. init_freecom() is set as ".initFunction" through UNUSUAL_DEV(). And ->initFunction() is only called by usb_stor_acquire_resources(), which is only called by usb_stor_probe2(). usb_stor_probe2() is called by *_probe() functions (like alauda_probe()) for each USB driver. *_probe() functions are set ".probe" in struct usb_driver. These functions are not called in atomic context. Despite never getting called from atomic context, init_freecom() calls mdelay() to busily wait. This is not necessary and can be replaced with msleep() to avoid busy waiting. This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself. And I also manually check it.
