Umm, this is not the same outcome.

udelay delays a minimum of 33 usecs.
usleep_range delays from min to max usecs.


kernel/time/timer.c: * usleep_range - Sleep for an approximate time
kernel/time/timer.c- * @min: Minimum time in usecs to sleep
kernel/time/timer.c- * @max: Maximum time in usecs to sleep
kernel/time/timer.c- *
kernel/time/timer.c- * In non-atomic context where the exact wakeup time is flexible, use
kernel/time/timer.c: * usleep_range() instead of udelay().  The sleep improves responsiveness
kernel/time/timer.c- * by avoiding the CPU-hogging busy-wait of udelay(), and the range reduces
kernel/time/timer.c- * power usage by allowing hrtimers to take advantage of an already-
kernel/time/timer.c- * scheduled interrupt instead of scheduling a new one just for this sleep.

here too.
