The 120ms delay was added to make sure we catch the second wake signal
from a device in case host missed the first U3 exit LFPS wakeup signal.

Even if no devices are connected this might be helpful if a device is
connected while host is suspended.
I haven't checked any timing for the link training during enumeration,
but it also uses LFPS signalling, and connected device isn't visible to
driver until link is successfully trained.

So the original 120ms delay patch might as a positive side effect ensure
driver doesn't suspend host mid device enumeration.

Could be looked into more, but I don't think we should this patch by
Chunfeng

Thanks
