Anna-Maria Behnsen 19e2d91d8c delay: Rework udelay and ndelay
udelay() as well as ndelay() are defines and no functions and are using
constants to be able to transform a sleep time into loops and to prevent
too long udelays/ndelays. There was a compiler error with non-const 8 bit
arguments which was fixed by commit a87e553fab ("asm-generic: delay.h fix
udelay and ndelay for 8 bit args"). When using a function, the non-const 8
bit argument is type casted and the problem would be gone.

Transform udelay() and ndelay() into proper functions, remove the no longer
and confusing division, add defines for the magic values and add some
explanations as well.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
