[PATCH] staging: fbtft: fb_tinylcd: replace udelay() with usleep_range()

[Anas Iqbal]

Replace udelay() with usleep_range() for a 250 microsecond delay
as recommended by checkpatch.pl. usleep_range() avoids busy
waiting and allows the scheduler to schedule other tasks.

Don't do this.
1) It's unrelated.
2) The previous alignment was done deliberate to make it easier to read.
   Checkpatch is not perfect so don't always do what it says.

Do a search for init_display on lore

Don't you think the original formatting makes more sense?  And you did
not describe this change in the changelog :(

This is a totally different change than above.  And also one that keeps
getting rejected, please see the mailing list archives for details.

thanks,

Now, read README here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/staging/fbtft/README
and act accordingly.

If you have been mentored on this, show the above link to your mentors.

Use the common sense here. This change won't be accepted.
