Subject: [PATCH iwl-net  v1 2/2] drivers/net/bonding: Added some delay while checking for VFs link

From: Sebastian Basierski <sebastianx.basierski@...el.com>

Right now bonding driver checks if link is ready once.
VF interface takes a little more time to get ready than PF,
so driver needs to wait for it to be ready.
1000ms delay was set, if VF link will not be set within given amount
of time, for sure problems should be investigated elsewhere.

Fixes: b3c898e20b18 ("Revert "bonding: allow carrier and link status to determine link state"")
