No, usleep_range() is built on hrtimers and at this point in the
boot sequence we haven't called hrtimers_init() yet.

Look at init/main.c:start_kernel() and note that setup_arch()
(which calls early_quirks()) is called way before hrtimers_init().

Please amend your static checker to consider every call to mdelay()
that occurs before hrtimers_init() a false positive, or manually
verify each patch for this constraint before submission.

I'll test your patch later today on my MacBook Pro but I suspect
it'll cause a boot crash or hang.  In any case the choice of mdelay()
here was deliberate.

Thanks,

Lukas
