I would suggest using [`fsleep()`], in the same spirit of this paragraph
in Documentation/process/maintainer-tip.rst:

"""
When a function is mentioned in the changelog, either the text body or the
subject line, please use the format 'function_name()'. Omitting the
brackets after the function name can be ambiguous::

Subject: subsys/component: Make reservation_count static

reservation_count is only used in reservation_stats. Make it static.

The variant with brackets is more precise::

Subject: subsys/component: Make reservation_count() static

reservation_count() is only called from reservation_stats(). Make it
static.
"""

, since fsleep() falls into the areas of tip tree.
