The audit of _p usage shows various drivers assume inb_p is somehow atomic.
Of course it isn't and the delay can be split from the I/O cycle causing a
timing violation on chips that matter (eg this one)
With the proposed use of udelay() for some _p delays this will cease to be
a mostly theoretical bug (as the delay stall is unsplittable) and wants
fixing.
Lots of other drivers need fixing this way too.
