Subject: [PATCH 4.19 053/125] media: gpio-ir-tx: improve precision of transmitted signal due to scheduling

From: Sean Young <sean@...s.org>

[ Upstream commit ea8912b788f8144e7d32ee61e5ccba45424bef83 ]

usleep_range() may take longer than the max argument due to scheduling,
especially under load. This is causing random errors in the transmitted
IR. Remove the usleep_range() in favour of busy-looping with udelay().
