From: Kelvin Cao <kelvin.cao@microchip.com>

After submitting a Firmware Download MRPC command, Switchtec firmware will
delay Management EP BAR MemRd TLP responses by more than 10ms. This is a
firmware limitation. Delayed MemRd completions are problem for systems with
a low Completion Timeout (CTO).

The current driver checks the MRPC status immediately after submitting an
MRPC command, which results in the MemRd TLP that's affected by the above
limitation.

Remove the immediate status check and rely on the check after receiving an
interrupt or timing out.

This is only a software workaround to the READ issue and a proper fix of
this should be done in firmware.
