stir421x_fw_upload() is never called in atomic context.

The call chain ending up at stir421x_fw_upload() is:
[1] stir421x_fw_upload() <- stir421x_patch_device() <- irda_usb_probe()

irda_usb_probe() is set as ".probe" in struct usb_driver.
This function is not called in atomic context.

Despite never getting called from atomic context, stir421x_fw_upload()
calls mdelay() to busily wait.
This is not necessary and can be replaced with usleep_range() to
avoid busy waiting.

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

Please, at the very least, work off of Linus's tree. There is no
drivers/staging/irda/ anymore :)

Okay, sorry.
Could you please recommend me a right tree or its git address?
Have you looked in the MAINTAINERS file? Worst case, always use
linux-next.

Oh, sorry, I did notice the git tree in the MAINTAINERS file.
I always used linux-stable.
Thanks for telling me this :)
