Since these sdelays() are used while we are frobbing around with the
clocks I'm not sure that switching to udelay is possible/wise. sdelay is
documented as:
 * sdelay() - simple spin loop.  Will be constant time as
 *  its generally used in bypass conditions only.  This
 *  is necessary until timers are accessible.

IOW it sounds like it is designed to be used in exactly these
circumstances.

Given the lack of documentation for what is actually required by the
hardware when changing these clocks I'm a bit reluctant to go changing
things.
