ARM: fix delays
Commit 215e362d ("ARM: 8306/1: loop_udelay: remove bogomips value limitation") tried to increase the bogomips limitation, but in doing so messed up udelay such that it always gives about a 5% error in the delay, even if we use a timer. The calculation is: loops = UDELAY_MULT * us_delay * ticks_per_jiffy >> UDELAY_SHIFT Originally, UDELAY_MULT was ((UL(2199023) * HZ) >> 11) and UDELAY_SHIFT 30. Assuming HZ=100, us_delay of 1000 and ticks_per_jiffy of 1660000 (eg, 166MHz timer, 1ms delay) this would calculate: ((UL(2199023) * HZ) >> 11) * 1000 * 1660000 >> 30 => 165999 With the new values of 2047 * HZ + 483648 * HZ / 1000000 and 31, we get: (2047 * HZ + 483648 * HZ / 1000000) * 1000 * 1660000 >> 31 => 158269 which is incorrect. This is due to a typo - correcting it gives: (2147 * HZ + 483648 * HZ / 1000000) * 1000 * 1660000 >> 31 => 165999 i.o.w, the original value.
