I just gave it a try.

mdelay(1000) and udelay (1000 * 1000) are both taking around 1s
(1.0002... for udelay, 1.13... for mdelay).

udelay(1) on the other hand takes around 151us, which seems to be the
same overhead we saw for udelay(1000 * 1000).

While that looks really high with regard to what you were saying, but
I just tested it with a beaglebone black that have similar delay
values, and yet the usb storage works as expected. So I don't think
it's really the issue there :/
