Hi Takashi,

The 2nd version of patch was sent according to your suggestion. Would you please have a check?
The title is "[PATCH v2 1/1] ALSA: hda - use usleep_range in link reset and change timeout check".

The new patch
- reduced the time for each usleep to 500us 
- set a 100ms timeout for both entering and exiting link reset. 
- still leave a big margin for the codec PLL to settle and codec initialization for safety consideration.


Thanks
Mengdong
