A designer familiar with the hardware has stated that the forcewake
timeout can theoretically be as high as a little over 1ms. Therefore we modify our code to use 2ms (appropriate fudge and because we don't want
to round down).

Hopefully this can't prevent spurious timeouts.

Superficially this looks okay, but the implementation of
wait_for_atomic() not so. As a surprise, this change drops cpu_relax() from the busy loop, even thought the timeout is potentially much longer.

The quick fix here would be to just use 2000 us with
wait_for_atomic_us(), but we should do something about wait_for_atomic()
too. Luckily it's only ever used at one place.

BR,
Jani.

Hmm, dare I say, I think this is a bug in _wait_for. Without spending too much brain power on this, I believe the compiler can screw us over here. No matter the bug, cpu_relax is still probably desirable, unless there is some newer coolness here? I shall insert a patch before this to do the cpu_relax in _wait_for.
Nice catch.
Ben
