The spec says the default timeout should be 2ms, but on my machine
this doesn't seem to be enough. Sometimes it works, sometimes I get
these messages when booting:
- SWSCI request timed out
- SWSCI request already in progress
And my guess is that the "already in progress" message is because the
first one is still happening.
I did some experiments on my machine (that has CONFIG_HZ=1000) and the
wait_for function usually takes 4-6 jiffies to finish, but I've seen
up to 9. So increase the timeout to 50ms. We only expect to wait for
the actual amount of time the operation takes, so even a huge timeout
shouldn't delay us more than what the hardware actually requires.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
