Thinking about this more, all we have to change is to remove the "*
1000" and switch to mdelay. That's a smaller change and results in an
even more correct timeout time.

 CYGACC_COMM_IF_GETC_TIMEOUT (char chan, char *c)
 {
 #define DELAY 20
 unsigned long counter = 0;
-  while (!tstc () && (counter < xyzModem_CHAR_TIMEOUT * 1000 / DELAY))
+  while (!tstc () && (counter < xyzModem_CHAR_TIMEOUT / DELAY))
   {
-      udelay (DELAY);
+      mdelay (DELAY);
       counter++;
   }
