This version would be rather broken, because it compares times
in two different units (ms and jiffies), and because it
does a cond_resched() directly before an msleep: both of which
end up calling schedule() and being away for some time,
cond_resched() for an unknown time, and msleep for a minimum
time on top of that.

That would be my preferred choice, unless someone has specific issues with this.

Well, in principle, you could implement something like

static inline void mmc_delay(unsigned int ms)
{
	ktime_t end = ktime_add_us(ktime_get(), ms * 1000);

	while (1) {
		s64 remaining;

		cond_resched();

		remaining = ktime_to_us(ktime_sub(end, ktime_get()));

		if (remaining < 0)
			break;

		udelay(min_t(u32, remaining, 100));
	}
}
