[PATCH 2/2] firmware: exynos-acpm: allow use during system shutdown

We need to access the PMIC during late system shutdown and at that time
we are not allowed to sleep anymore.

To make this case work, detect this condition and use busy waiting via
udelay() instead of usleep_range() in that situation.

The code isn't switched over to udelay() unconditionally so as to not
waste resources during normal operation. acpm_may_sleep() was heavily
inspired by the I2C subsystem's i2c_in_atomic_xfer_mode().

udelay(10) causes a checkpatch warning (it suggests to use
usleep_range() instead for usec >= 10), but that's exactly what we can
not do.
Reducing the udelay to be smaller will generally cause the loop to be
iterated more than once, which I wanted to avoid.
I could reflow the code to hide the actual value from checkpatch, e.g.
with the help of a local variable if that is preferred to ignoring the
checkpatch warning.
