Subject: [PATCH v2 14/14] staging: comedi: daqboard2000: prefer usleep_range()

The checkpatch.pl warns about two `udelay(x)` calls, one of 100
microseconds, and one of 10 microseconds.  The 100 microseconds one is
used when waiting for FPGA to become ready to accept firmware, and is
not that critical, so replace it with a call to `usleep_range(100,
1000)`.  The 10 microseconds one is called as each 16-bit word of
firmware data is written.  Replace it with a fairly tight
`usleep_range(10, 20)` to avoid slowing down firmware loading too much.
The firmware is fairly short, so this would only slow it down firmware
loading by about 20 milliseconds or so.

v2: Replaced the 10 microsecond udelay with a fairly tight usleep_range,
as suggested by Hartley.
