While the Data Sheet does mention that this should take ~ 1ms, we are in a busy 
wait state so it probably isn't that big of a deal to check more frequently for 
our exit condition.  That said there are plenty of other delays later on in the 
reset path so keeping the udelay really isn't speeding things up much. :)

Also normally it isn't a good idea to reference a section number in the data 
sheet as they do seem to change with updates.  We are most likely a bit more 
safe here as it is one of the first of a list of register descriptions' and 
thus less like to move.
