Hi Pali,
I think this is more like a platform specific timeout, which is used to
wait for the reference clocks to become stable and finish the reset flow
of HW blocks.
Here is the steps to start a link training in this HW:
1. Assert all reset signals which including the transaction layer, PIPE
interface and internal bus interface;
2. De-assert reset signals except the PERST#, this will make the
physical layer active and start to output the reference clock, but the
EP device remains in the reset state.
Before releasing the PERST# signal, the HW blocks needs at least 10ms
to finish the reset flow, and ref-clk needs about 30us to become stable.
3. De-assert PERST# signal, wait LTSSM enter L0 state.
This 100ms timeout is reference to TPVPERL in the PCIe CEM spec. Since
we are in the kernel stage, the power supply has already stabled, this
timeout may not take that long.

Yes, this should be 100ms, I will fix it at next version, thanks for
your review.
Thanks.
