Maybe what you expect from __udelay() is not what other people
expect(ed) from it?  I don't think there is any formal description
of that __udelay() is supposed to do in any existing U-Boot
documentation...

Please just face facts: for nearly two decades this code has been
doing what it does, and I guess there were good reasons at that time
(like memory footprint and resources to fix a specific problem). I
agree that from a design point of view this is not nice, but that's
not the point here.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

No, I'm not going to explain it. If you  can't  figure  it  out,  you
didn't want to know anyway... :-)
