A "tad" longer in this case means likely double the intended wait.
Please see "SLEEPING FOR ~USECS OR SMALL MSECS ( 10us - 20ms)" in
Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt.

The sleep here should use usleep_range. In general the DC code seems to
use quite a lot of the udelay busy waits. I doubt that many of those
occurrences are in atomic context, so could easily use a sleeping wait.

Digging further this seems to apply across amdgpu, not only DC.

Regards,
Lucas
