I think here usleep may not be available by default on all systems.
For instance, on fedora/rhel I don't have usleep installed in the 
defualt configuration and so I have to first install it. So you may
want to add "usleep" as per-requisite for this test. Moreover, after 
I installed usleep on fedora and ran the above test I see this warning:

warning: usleep is deprecated, and will be removed in near future!

Due to above warning the test fails. So is it possible to replace 
usleep with sleep?

I don't know if I am missing anything here but just curious to know 
for which case $subsys would point to link ending in */nvme?
I think that for all cases $subsys shall point to link which ends 
in */nvme-subsystem, isn't it? I assume here that $TEST_DEV_SYSFS would 
always resolve to a nvme block device.

And the last point: I don't see 053.out file in your patchset. Did you forget
to add this file?

Thanks,
