As I know, this controller is using on many ARM core. I can not
disclose the information in my situation.

I didn't decide, how much timeout should I add ? first, I think that I
try to add timeout_ns * the number of blocks. but If timeout_ns is 1.6
sec and the number of blocks is 512, the timeout will be very long. or
If I just add 10*HZ(10 sec), Is it proper ?
Would you advise more for me ?

Thanks.
