I'll update all three patches to use:

There's no warning today. Would a rate-limited warning after a prolonged
wait be useful here? I'm hesitant because that would also affect non-ACPI
callers of this helper, and I don't believe FF-A defines a threshold after
which the wait is abnormal.

I'll clarify that resp_regs[1] is X2; resp_regs[0] is X1.

I'll address these in v3.  Thanks!
