nit: Checkpatch tells me that usleep_range() is preferred over udelay().
     Perhaps it would be worth looking into that for a follow-up patch.

nit: as a follow-up perhaps you could consider something like this.
     (* completely untested! * )

	hp->happy_timer.expires = jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(1200);
