intel_scu_ipc_i2c_cntrl() calls mutex_lock(), which indicates this function is not called in atomic context. Despite never getting called from atomic context, intel_scu_ipc_i2c_cntrl() calls mdelay to busily wait. This is not necessary and can be replaced with usleep_range to avoid busy waiting. This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself. And I also manually check it.
