spi: change post transfer udelay() to usleep_range() for long delays
The spi_transfer parameter delay_usecs allows specifying a time to wait
after transferring a spi message. This wait can be quite long - some
devices, such as some Chrome OS ECs, require as much as 2000 usecs after
a SPI transaction, before it can respond.
(cf: arch/arm64/boot/dts/nvidia/tegra132-norrin.dts:
google,cros-ec-spi-msg-delay = <2000>
)
Blocking a CPU for 2 msecs in a busy loop like this doesn't seem very
friendly to other processes, so change the blocking delay to a sleep
to allow other things to use this CPU (or so it can sleep).
This should be safe to do, because:
(a) A post-transaction delay like this is always specified as a minimum
wait time
(b) A delay here is most likely not very time sensitive, as it occurs
after all data has been transferred
(c) This delay occurs in a non-critical section of the spi worker thread
so where it is safe to sleep.
Two caveats:
1) To avoid penalizing short delays, still use udelay for delays < 10us.
2) usleep_range() very often picks the upper bound, an upper bounds 10%
should be plenty.
