Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mmc: wbsd: Replace mdelay with usleep_range in wbsd_init

wbsd_init() is never called in atomic context.

The call chains ending up at wbsd_init() are:
[1] wbsd_init() <- wbsd_probe()
[2] wbsd_init() <- wbsd_pnp_probe()

wbsd_probe() is set as ".probe" in struct platform_driver.
wbsd_pnp_probe() is set as ".probe" in struct pnp_driver.
These functions are not called in atomic context.

Despite never getting called from atomic context, wbsd_init()
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.

The patch is good, however I think you should squash all three in this
series into one. For obvious reasons.

Kind regards
Uffe
