Add a 200ms delay after sending a ctrl report to Quadro, Octo, D5 Next and Aquaero to give them enough time to process the request and save the data to memory. Otherwise, under heavier userspace loads where multiple sysfs entries are usually set in quick succession, a new ctrl report could be requested from the device while it's still processing the previous one and fail with -EPIPE. Reported by a user on Github [1] and tested by both of us.
