Even though we wait until the HW has sent us its first CS interrupt
before believing that it is powered on, a read from the powercontext
saved CSB registers may still return garbage. So we must wait a little
bit for the right result. This, of course, assumes that we always see an
invalid result when the powercontext is not loaded, otherwise we will
attempt to read stale data.
