While I don't really understand what this patch does, it seems harmless
enough and I generally trust your judgement.  Good enough for me.

What I'm wondering about is whether the assignment should be made
unconditional.  After all, if board->chip_delay is zero, the assignment
should simply write zero to a variable that already is zero.  Or if it
isn't, the driver is missing a memset() somewhere.
