Calls to udelay are not preemtable by userspace so userspace applications experience a large (~200us) latency when running on core 0. Instead usleep_range can be used to be more friendly to userspace since it is preemtable. This is due to udelay using busy-wait loops while usleep_rang uses hrtimers instead. It is recommended to use udelay when the delay is <10us since at that precision overhead of usleep_range hrtimer setup causes issues. However, the replaced calls are for 50us and 100us so this should not be not an issue.
