Please cite a recent spec version, i.e., r7.0.  I see this probably
came from the comment at the change; I wouldn't object to updating
the comment, too.

IMO the most valuable thing here would be to replace the hard-coded
"2" with some kind of #define explicitly tied to the spec.  Similarly
for the other cases.

There is some concern [1] about places that say "msleep(1)" but
actually rely on the current behavior of a longer sleep.

Apart from that concern, I think fsleep() would be my first choice.
usleep_range(x, x+1) defeats the purpose of the range, which is to
reduce interrupts; see 5e7f5a178bba ("timer: Added usleep_range
timer").
