IMHO, the hacky part of my patch was how I detected whether to use sleep
or delay. That said I am ok with API extension too, I guess it is fairly
common use case... I found at least 6 clock prepare functions with sleep
in it (and some udelays, all between 1-100).

Your proposed solution uses "early_boot_or_suspend_resume" which I did
not found as a convenient function in the wild :-)

How would you implement that?
