Maybe what you expect from __udelay() is not what other people expect(ed) from it? I don't think there is any formal description of that __udelay() is supposed to do in any existing U-Boot documentation... Please just face facts: for nearly two decades this code has been doing what it does, and I guess there were good reasons at that time (like memory footprint and resources to fix a specific problem). I agree that from a design point of view this is not nice, but that's not the point here.
