Subject: Re: [PATCH] stmmac: extend DMA initialization delay to 2.5 seconds

+Srinivas and the ST list.

> On some platforms existing 100 msecond delay is not enough for DMA block to
> recover after reset. This is because MAC DMA waits for all PHY input clocks
> to present and depending on the board reset bit deassertion may take much
> longer than previously used 100 milliseconds
> 
> I have a board that requires more than 2 seconds for DMA to zero "reset" bit.
> If for other boards it's still not long enough this value should be extended
> once again.
> 
> In the same change I convert "mdelay" to "msleep" to make CPU available for
> other processes during DMA init delay which is especially useful in case of
> delay for a few seconds.
