OK, I'll keep this timeout value.
One more question, is there any chance that we can put this linkup flow
to a more "standard" way, such as drivers provides the ops of the PERST#
pin and let the framework to decide how to start a link training, or we
just use macro to replace this timeout value in the future?
Thanks.
