In one of the gitlab issue, it was tried with 1000ms as well, situation 
did improve, but issue didn't get fully resolved. [1].

I was wondering if trying to set LS/PCON mode multiple time will have 
any effect.

Unfortunately I do not have access to machine with Parade LSPCON chip, 
had suggested in yet another git lab issue [2].

I have a patch for this, sent to try-bot, though not sent to intel-gfx 
yet [3].


The timeout value was already increased from 100 ms to 400 ms earlier too.

If there is indeed no other way, perhaps need to have this solution.
