The reason for doing a 2ms sleep is because the are supposed to be sending the Hot Reset TS1 Ordered-Sets continuously for 2ms per all of the documents I have read. The 1ms number you quote is the minimum time for a conventional PCI bus. I'm not completely sure of that applies as well to PCIe, nor does it represent the maximum recommended value. If we stop early we risk not resetting the full device tree on the secondary bus which is the bug I was resolving by adding the 2ms delay. Previously we saw that some devices were only getting their PCIe link retrained without performing a hot reset when the bit was not held for long enough. I would prefer to keep this at 2 ms in order to account for the fact that PCIe has to go though link recovery states before it can perform the hot reset.
