I was not aware of the change of [1]. The behavior of atomic version becomes
different from non-atomic version. 

For this patch, I feel we can keep delay_us to 1 and treat timeout_us as
'count', which USB devices do smaller retries. The smaller delay_us can
reduce total polling time, especially for PCIE devices (see my comments below)

Though I don't measure total polling time of patch 2/2, I feel we can apply
similar idea.

As my experiments, PCIE devices take about 30us for this polling, when
setting delay 1. But it will take 256us, if delay is changed to 250.
I feel we need to set this value by HCI type if needed.
