i2c: imx: reduce load by using usleep_range instead of udelay

Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt recommends to use
usleep_range on delays > 10usec. According to my test results
with Neonode zForce touchscreen driver, usleep_range indeed
reduces CPU load.

Stats collected with "./perf record -a -g -F 1000 sleep 10"
