1. Why is this delay needed in the first place?
Apparently it has not been required before.

2. Such a delay loop is highly dependant on toolchain,
cache and page situation and processor speed. It can not be
accepted as a solution. If a delay is really required here
and cannot be substituting by reading the UARTs status
register, udelay() must be used.

Best Regards,
Reinhard
