No, we should just fix the driver instead.

+               /* Wait 1000 clocks so we don't saturate the RSL bus
+                * doing reads.
+                */
+               __delay(1000);

As this is used only on Cavium Octeon and Thunder SoCs, running
at 400-600 MHz resp. 1800-2000 Mhz, what about replacing the __delay()
call by a call to udelay(1) or udelay(2)?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
