Subject: [PATCH] crypto: qat - fix firmware loading failure for GEN6 devices
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

QAT GEN6 hardware requires a minimum 3 us delay during the acceleration
engine reset sequence to ensure the hardware fully settles.
Without this delay, the firmware load may fail intermittently.

Add a delay after placing the AE into reset and before clearing the reset,
matching the hardware requirements and ensuring stable firmware loading.
Earlier generations remain unaffected.
