I agree.

The issue is not with having delay here, but the kind of delay you are
using: udelay makes CPU spin for given amount of time; you really want
msleep() or usleep_range() here.

Same here - replace with msleep().

You also need to drop #ifdef CONFIG_SLEEP. That's the point: we want to
reduce amount of conditionally compiled code and use __maybe_unused to
shut off compiler warning about some functions not used in certain
configurations. We rely on linker to eliminate dead functions from
executable.
