It could be that the timing requirements of recent chips require a
larger delay now. You could try increasing the value in udelay (but only
up to max of about 50, due to the way udelay works). Also have a look at
what values they're using in Linux drivers these days.

Also udelay relies on the hardware timer. Do you have this timer on your
motherboard?
