Subject: [PATCH 3.2 001/104] brcmfmac: work-around gcc 4.7 build issue

3.2.101-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexandre Oliva <oliva@....ic.unicamp.br>

commit 5addc0de28f5e286f9d121112c4222250807b5a5 upstream.

Alexandre Oliva <oliva@....ic.unicamp.br> says:

"It's an issue brought about by GCC 4.7's partial-inlining, that ends up
splitting the udelay function just at the wrong spot, in such a way that
some sanity checks for constants fails, and we end up calling
bad_udelay.

This patch fixes the problem.  Feel free to push it upstream if it makes
sense to you."
