[PATCH 04/42] PCI: aardvark: Increase polling delay to 1.5s while waiting for PIO response

Measurements in different conditions showed that aardvark hardware PIO
response can take up to 1.44s. Increase wait timeout from 1ms to 1.5s to
ensure that we do not miss responses from hardware. After 1.44s hardware
returns errors (e.g. Completer abort).

The previous two patches fixed checking for PIO status, so now we can use
it to also catch errors which are reported by hardware after 1.44s.

After applying this patch, kernel can detect and print PIO errors to dmesg:

    [    6.879999] advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: Non-posted PIO Response Status: CA, 0xe00 @ 0x100004
    [    6.896436] advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: Posted PIO Response Status: COMP_ERR, 0x804 @ 0x100004
    [    6.913049] advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: Posted PIO Response Status: COMP_ERR, 0x804 @ 0x100010
    [    6.929663] advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: Non-posted PIO Response Status: CA, 0xe00 @ 0x100010
    [    6.953558] advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: Posted PIO Response Status: COMP_ERR, 0x804 @ 0x100014
    [    6.970170] advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: Non-posted PIO Response Status: CA, 0xe00 @ 0x100014
    [    6.994328] advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: Posted PIO Response Status: COMP_ERR, 0x804 @ 0x100004

Without this patch kernel prints only a generic error to dmesg:

    [    5.246847] advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: config read/write timed out
