Subject: [PATCH] ide: hpt366: Replace mdelay with usleep_range in init_chipset_hpt366

init_chipset_hpt366() is never called in atomic context.

init_chipset_hpt366() is set as ".init_chipset" in struct ide_port_info.
This function is not called in atomic context.

Despite never getting called from atomic context, init_chipset_hpt366()
calls mdelay() to busily wait.
This is not necessary and can be replaced with usleep_range() to
avoid busy waiting.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually check it.
