Subject: [PATCH] bcma: Replace mdelay with usleep_range in bcma_pmu_resources_init

After checking all possible call chains to bcma_pmu_resources_init() here,
my tool finds that this function is never called in atomic context,
namely never in an interrupt handler or holding a spinlock.
Thus mdelay can be replaced with usleep_range to avoid busy wait.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.

I would like to have an ack from someone familiar with bcma before I
apply this.

No ack for this one.

I have no idea how critical this delay might be, but it would be safer to never
make the sleep be shorter than the original delay. Using (2000, 2500) would be a
better choice of arguments for usleep_range().

NACK

Okay, I have used usleep_range(2000, 2500) and sent patch v2.
