The function mdelay in it can be replaced with msleep, to reduce busy wait.

checkpatch.pl reports the following warning for this patch:

WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms; see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt

Have you tested to verify that a sleep as long as 20 ms will not cause problems? The referenced document suggests a usleep_range() call.

In general, delay changes should never be proposed without testing.
