I really don't think this is the correct thing to do and it will
likely make things worse.

A notification with the UCSI_CCI_BUSY bit does _not_ mean that
the controller is busy doing other things and cannot complete the
command.

Instead it is an indication that the controller _is_ working to
complete our command but will take somewhat longer:

Citing:
| Note: If a command takes longer than MIN_TIME_TO_RESPOND_WITH_BUSY ms
|       for the PPM (excluding PPM to OPM communication latency) to complete,
|       then the PPM shall respond to the command by setting the CCI Busy
|       Indicator and notify the OPM.
|       Subsequently, when the PPM actually completes the command, the
|       PPM shall notify the OPM of the outcome of the command via an
|       asynchronous notification associated with that command.

Unless I misunderstand what you are trying to do your change would
cause us to needlessly abort/cancel every command that takes more than
MIN_TIME_TO_RESPOND_WITH_BUSY to complete.

What am I missing?

Best regards,
Christian
