Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Checkpatch: prefer usleep_range over udelay
Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:39:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1280270347-4409-3-git-send-email-ppannuto@codeaurora.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1280270347-4409-1-git-send-email-ppannuto@codeaurora.org>

When possible, sleeping is (usually) better than delaying,
however, don't bother callers of udelay < 10us, as those
cases are not with the switch to usleep_range
