The delay is actually 2ms which is 20% of the default 10ms delay. I took
a look at the PCI quirks again and see delays of 0s, 20ms, and 120ms. Due
to the 120ms delay for Intel, let me add a check to use msleep() when delay
is greather than 20ms. For <20ms, I'll use usleep_range with a 20-25% upper
bound.
