The point of usleep_range() is to coalesce multiple timer interrupts
in idle systems for power efficiency. It's pretty pointless/harmful
during probe anyway and there's almost never a reason to make the span
larger than a few milliseconds. You should reduce this to something
reasonable (e.g. usleep_range(25000, 26000) or even
usleep_range(25000, 25000)) to save another chunk of time. Same
applies to other delays above.

But this code is already a loop that spins on the AHBIdle bit, right?
It should work correctly regardless of the delay. The only question is
whether the code could be more efficient with a longer sleep... but
since the general recommendation is to delay for ranges less than
10us, and the AHB clock would need to be lower than 100KHz (the ones I
see are usually in the range of tens or hundreds of MHz) to take
longer than that, this seems reasonable to me.
