There is also kernel bugzilla entry about another regression this causes
here:

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204413

I agree we should revert c2bf1fc2 now. I'll try to come up alternative
solution to these missing delays that hopefully does not break existing
setups.

Rafael, Bjorn,

Can you revert the commit or do you want me to send a revert patch?

Thanks and sorry about the breakage.
