    [MIPS] BCM1250: TRDY timeout tweaks for Broadcom SiByte systems · 15a1c514

     It was obesrved that at least one older PCI card predating the
    requirement for the TRDY signal to respond within 16 clock ticks actually
    does not meet this rule nor even the power-on defaults of the PCI bridges
    found in development systems built around the Broadcom SiByte SOCs.  Here
    is a patch that bumps up the timeout to the highest finite value supported
    by these chips, which is 255 clock ticks.  The bridges affected are the
    SiByte SOC itself and the SP1011.
        
     This change does not effectively affect systems only having PCI option
    cards installed that meet the TRDY requirement of the current PCI spec.
    The rule was introduced with PCI 2.1, so any older card may make the
    system affected.  If this is the case, performance of the system will
    suffer in return for the card working at all.  If this is a concern, then
    the solution is not to use such cards.
