Ok, this is still on staging, so I'm willing to accept it, but
why aren't you using usleep_range() instead?

mdelay/udelay should be used only when the delay time should
be as precise as possible, as what they do is to keep the CPU
busy during the wait time.

I doubt that this is the case here. So, I would use,
instead, something like:

	usleep_range(1000, 2000)

(assuming that 4ms is still a reasonable time for the soft
reset to happen).
