I agree, there little sense in modifying unused code which cannot be
tested anyway. The whole driver is a candidate for removal as it has
no users in mainline. AFAIK it had only been used on Exynos platforms.
I'd suggest to just drop the delay call, there are already usleep_range()
calls after the GPIO state change. IIRC the delay was needed to ensure
proper I2C bus operation after enabling the voltage level translator,
but I'm not 100% sure.
