    [PATCH] net/sb1000: replace nicedelay() with ssleep() · a26c074c

    Use ssleep() instead of nicedelay()
    to guarantee the task delays as expected. Remove the prototype and
    definition of nicedelay(). This is a very weird function, because it is
    called to sleep in terms of usecs, but always sleeps for 1 second,
    completely ignoring the parameter. I have gone ahead and followed suit,
    just sleeping for a second in all cases, but maybe someone with the
    hardware could tell me if perhaps the paramter *should* matter. Additionally,
    nicedelay() is called in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state, but doesn't deal with signals
    in case these longer delays do not complete, so I believe ssleep() is more
    appropriate.
