Subject: [PATCH] spi: cadence: Change usleep_range() to udelay(), for atomic
 context 

The path "spi: cadence: Add usleep_range() for
cdns_spi_fill_tx_fifo()" added a usleep_range() function call,
which cannot be used in atomic context.
However the cdns_spi_fill_tx_fifo() function can be called during
an interrupt which may result in a kernel panic:

This patch replaces the function call with udelay() which can be
used in an atomic context, like an interrupt.
