Except that there is no udelay_range :-(
There is a usleep_range, but that can only be used from non-atomic context
and in the problem case interrupts are disabled and a spinlock is held so we
very definitely are not in non-atomic context.  If we need a delay at all, it
has to be udelay or mdelay.
If we could do this in a work function rather than directly from the
interrupt handler that would be best but I have no idea what dependencies
there are..  Would it be safe for musb_stage0_irq() to ask a workqueue to run
musb_platform_set_vbus rather than doing it directly?
