That was something that I tried originally and it still resulted in 
failures - albeit lesser in number.

I had to bump it to 0x20000 (effective wait of 65536) with the original 
loop termination logic and  udelay() in order to get it to reduce to 
zero.

Note that with usleep_range - each sleep is potentially more than the 
minimum - that's may be why 32ms works with usleep_range but not with 
udelay which is precise.

So bottomline, I suspect we will need to bump to 0x20000 if you want to 
keep the current loop termination and udelay().
