Second try (first at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240212213216.GA1145794@bhelgaas/):

  - Capitalize subject lines to match history (sorry, I didn't mention
    the first time)

  - Drop or replace "properly" with something specific

  - "... minimizing power draw while keeping RC up at all times ...
    draws a whole lot of power" doesn't quite make sense to me

  - Reword or explain "power collapse"

  - No COMPILE_TEST provision (maybe it turned out to be impractical?)

  - Magic delay numbers below with no citation or explanation.  Even a
    short comment could be a hint about how to verify and potentially
    change in the future.  A #define for readl_poll_timeout() would be
    helpful as a place for a comment and because the name could
    include "_US" to show the units.

  - Add "()" after function names in comments
