After checking all possible call chains to genpd_dev_pm_detach()
and
genpd_dev_pm_attach() here,
my tool finds that these functions are never called in atomic
context,
namely never in an interrupt handler or holding a spinlock.
Thus mdelay can be replaced with msleep to avoid busy wait.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by
myself.

This looks like a nice improvement, however moving to msleep() makes
the call to cond_resched() below a bit superfluous. Perhaps remove
that as well.
At least for small values of i, msleep also has a high chance to
overshoot the desired sleep by a lot. It would be better to convert
them to usleep_range with an acceptable slack.
Ack!
