Generally 10ms is enough time for amp software reset but I wanted to add more guard time for the retrial because it is already failed once.
I have not seen a failure issue with 10ms delay on my test setup but I wanted to make it more conservative.
Let me remove this.

Okay. I will fix it. Thanks for the comment.

It is not very necessary. I just wanted to make it more conservative because this delay is applied only when reset is failed.

OK. Let me fix it.
