Does this have to be called that early? It seems wasteful to always
call udelay() here, when these are functions that are normally
allowed to sleep.

So I've tested it and something like that would work:

	if (system_state < SYSTEM_RUNNING)
		udelay(osc->startup_usec);
	else
		usleep_range(osc->startup_usec, osc->startup_usec + 1);

But I'm afraid it would be the first driver to actually do something
like that (however, it is already the only driver trying to sleep). 

tglx has suggested to modify clock core to handle a somewhat similar
kind of scenario (probably should work here too) and avoid driver
changes,
