Subject: usb: pci-quirks.c: Corrected timeout values used in handshake

From: Jim Dickerson <[email protected]>

commit 114ec3a6f9096d211a4aff4277793ba969a62c73 upstream.

Servers were emitting failed handoff messages but were not waiting the full 1 second as designated in section 4.22.1 of the eXtensible Host Controller Interface specifications. The handshake was using wrong units so calls were made with milliseconds not microseconds. Comments referenced 5 seconds not 1 second as in specs.

The wrong units were also corrected in a second handshake call.
