This is not 100ms timeout "after link training completes".

Timeout in this patch is between flipping PERST# signal, so timeout
means how long needs to be endpoint card in reset state. And this
timeout cannot be controller specific. In past I have tried to find this
timeout in specifications, I was not able. Some summary is in my email:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20210310110535.zh4pnn4vpmvzwl5q@pali/

So I would like to know, why was chosen 100ms for msleep() in this
patch?
