It is not allowed to sleep to early in the boot process and this may lead
to kernel issues if the bootloader didn't prepare the slow clock and main

This results in the following error and dump stack on the AriettaG25:
   bad: scheduling from the idle thread!

Ensure it is possible to sleep, else simply have a delay.

Note that this was already discussed a while ago and Arnd said this approach was
reasonable:

Given that this construct is introduced several times, I wonder if we
want something like:

	static inline void early_usleep_range(unsigned long min, unsigned long max)
	{
		if (system_state < SYSTEM_RUNNING)
			udelay(min);
		else
			usleep_range(min, max);
	}

Best regards
Uwe
