It also seems odd to have unsigned int wait_count and int count.

Maybe just use 30 in the loop without using wait_count at all.

I also think using UDELAY_DELAY is silly and essentially misleading
as it's also used as an argument value for mdelay

$ git grep -w UDELAY_DELAY
drivers/staging/qlge/qlge.h:#define UDELAY_DELAY 100
drivers/staging/qlge/qlge_main.c:               udelay(UDELAY_DELAY);
drivers/staging/qlge/qlge_main.c:               udelay(UDELAY_DELAY);
drivers/staging/qlge/qlge_mpi.c:                mdelay(UDELAY_DELAY);
drivers/staging/qlge/qlge_mpi.c:                mdelay(UDELAY_DELAY);
drivers/staging/qlge/qlge_mpi.c:                mdelay(UDELAY_DELAY); /* 100ms */
