Weird that checkpatch didn't yell, but perhaps somehow your commit
message didn't trigger its regex. ;-)

Sounds good. Probably the best way to tag is these tags in this order:

Co-developed-by: Radoslaw Biernacki <rad@...omium.org>
Signed-off-by: Radoslaw Biernacki <rad@...omium.org>
Signed-off-by: Lukasz Majczak <lma@...omium.org>

Yeah, usleep_range(400, 500) would be fine. udelay(400) would also be
OK. The later would be more "accurate" but also more wasteful of CPU
cycles. Given that this is at probe time and only run a small handful
of times, it probably doesn't matter lots though perhaps the sleeping
function would allow more parallelism of other running probes.
