1. No specific reason at all, I'll use regular udelay() in next version. :)

2. The fifo size of ep0 is 64 bytes, and my driver is supposed to make
sure the fifo empty
    before filling up the fifo. However there is a hardware bug that
the fifo empty indication is somehow
    a bit earlier than fifo reset. So if I don't add an extra delay
here, the data might be corrupted (i.e., 1 byte missing.)
    And after a couple of tests, it looks like that 1 usec is good
enough for this.
