I do not think this should block the patches series.
Absolutely - I'll ask them to look into this again.we need to explain why on Windows systems required 1s and on Linux
systems up to 2.5s - otherwise it is not reliable approach - you will
encounter others buggy system.
(ME not POR on the Linux systems - is only one possible answer)
Sasha: In your opinion does this information need to block the series?
or can we follow up with more changes later on as more information becomes
available?
For now v5 of the series extends the timeout but at least makes a mention
that there appears to be a firmware bug when more than 1 second is taken.
