Calling udelay(1000) and adding a comment saying it delays 1.8ms looks
inconsistent. Maybe better count up to 2 in __udelay() above which makes
it more accurate and then call __udelay(2000) if necessary.

Drop the comment, because it's obvious what the delay does. Better add a
comment why you are doing so (i.e. copy parts of the commit message as
comment).
