Ido Schimmel 1f64757ee2 mlxsw: pci: Fix possible crash during initialization
During initialization the driver issues a reset command via its command
interface in order to remove previous configuration from the device.

After issuing the reset, the driver waits for 200ms before polling on
the "system_status" register using memory-mapped IO until the device
reaches a ready state (0x5E). The wait is necessary because the reset
command only triggers the reset, but the reset itself happens
asynchronously. If the driver starts polling too soon, the read of the
"system_status" register will never return and the system will crash
[1].

The issue was discovered when the device was flashed with a development
firmware version where the reset routine took longer to complete. The
issue was fixed in the firmware, but it exposed the fact that the
current wait time is borderline.

Fix by increasing the wait time from 200ms to 400ms. With this patch and
the buggy firmware version, the issue did not reproduce in 10 reboots
whereas without the patch the issue is reproduced quite consistently.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
