b53_switch_reset_gpio() is never called in atomic context.

The call chain ending up at b53_switch_reset_gpio() is:
[1] b53_switch_reset_gpio() <- b53_switch_reset() <-
b53_reset_switch() <- b53_setup()

b53_switch_reset_gpio() is set as ".setup" in struct dsa_switch_ops.
This function is not called in atomic context.

Despite never getting called from atomic context, b53_switch_reset_gpio()
calls mdelay() to busily wait.
This is not necessary and can be replaced with msleep() to
avoid busy waiting.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually check it.

Would that also imply gpio_set_value could be gpio_set_value_cansleep?


Yes, I think gpio_set_value_cansleep() is okay here?
Do I need to send a V2 patch to replace gpio_set_value()?
