Yeah that's the one I was thinking off. So maybe 5s is indeed the right
value, but we should compute it from vbt?

Hm, maybe we need a special mode to disallow link shutdown for the psr
test? Then we could run all the functional correctness tests in that mode
(psr still works the same wrt frontbuffer tracking). Ofc that means we
need a new set of tests to exercise full psr (including link shutdown)
against e.g. suspend/resume and stuff to make sure that still works. But
those are then only doing modesets, s/r and won't check crcs. So
additional tests on top of what we have.

Imo if vbt provides a delay, we should follow that. Even when it's
horrible, who knows what kind of broken panels we'll see ...
