There seems to be some misunderstanding that udelay() and friends will
always guarantee the specified delay. This is a false understanding.
When udelay() is based on CPU cycles, it can return early for many
reasons which are detailed by Linus' reply to me in a thread in 2011:
However, a udelay test module was created in 2014 which allows udelay()
to only be 0.5% fast, which is outside of the CPU-cycles udelay()
results I measured back in 2011, which were deemed to be in the "we
don't care" region.
test_udelay() should be fixed to reflect the real allowable tolerance
on udelay(), rather than 0.5%.
