    Sorry to request a new version, but I think we should have a comment
    here explaining the sleep. It should be noted here that it's not in the
    spec but it mimics the behavior of the Windows driver, thus hardware
    makers might rely on this small timeout instead of following the spec.

    Cheers,
    Benjamin
