It’s in the middle of device_attach, so you’d need to break it up into
two stages. I don’t know if we have a good way of doing that for
delays; I’ve seen other glue code drivers do things like this, but
there may well be a better way, and if so I’m all ears. Though given
you won’t have working PCI (so no USB nor NVMe) until this is done
there’s probably not much more you can do during boot whilst you wait,
so it may not be worth pursuing. Also, given the performance of the SoC
in question, 100ms isn’t something you’d be close to noticing...
