This can read in manual DM900B-12-DS-F02 from September 2 2010, Page 14:
"If this Register 1FH bit 0 is updated from '1' to '0', the all
Registers can not be accessed within 1ms."

The example driver code waits 2 ms.

Because udelay is the base of mdelay.
See include/linux/delay.h:31

#define mdelay(n) ... udelay((n)*1000)
