Yes, we have bumped up the delay, first from 0x100 to 0x200 and then as per
BSpec change 0xa000 and I have tried 0xf000. Increasing the timeout reduces
the frequency of this error but doesn't solve this issue.

Yes, HW guys requested traces which I provided but based on these the sequence we use in i915
is correct.

That should be enough. To me, it looks like when reading/writing to the bus maybe too fast, the hw cannot handle that and we need
to reset and let things settle down before trying again.

True, I will add these the the patch.
Thanks for review!
