Okay, there are several mdelay(3) in this file.

Could you please test if removing these mdelays prevents the camera from working
? If not, I'd like to have them removed.

FWIW, it might be possible to replace some of them with msleep() calls,
potentially after replacing spinlocks with mutexes where necessary.

Datasheet says:

        tS:RESET        Setting time after software/hardware reset      1 ms

So at least one ~1 ms should be left there. Are msleep less than 20ms valid? 

(checkpatch: msleep < 20ms  can sleep for up to 20ms)

On most kernels, an msleep(1) will sleep somewhere between 1 and 3 milliseconds
(but could be much longer), while an mdelay(1) tries to sleep around one
millisecond, more or less.
