Subject: Re: [PATCH net v1] hinic: fix a bug of ndo_stop

The two modified points are relevant. We bump the timeout for SET_FUNC_STATE

to ensure that cmd won't return failure when hw is busy. Otherwise hw 
may stomp

host memory if we free memory regardless of the return value of 
SET_FUNC_STATE.

I will mention the timeout changes in the commit message. And the bug 
exists since

the first commit, not introduced. Thanks for your review.
