is this issue only seeing when this reset is called from the
sanitize functions at probe and resumes?
Or from any kind of gt reset?

I don't remember seeing any reference link to the bug in the patch,
hence I'm assuming this is happening in any kind of gt reset that
ends up in this function.

yeap. That might be to extreme depending on the case. But all that
I asked was if we were considering this option since this is the
recommended way of reseting our engines nowadays.

But it is changing the reset concept and timeouts for all the reset
cases in all the platforms.

The point is that if a reset is needed, for any reason,
the recommended way for Jasperlake, and any other newer platforms,
is to use the FLR rather than the engine reset. But we are using
the engine reset, and now twice, rather then attempt the recommended
way.

This issue is also not present in all the platforms and you are still
increasing the loops and delay for all the platforms.

have we looked to the Jasperlake workarounds to see if we are missing
anything there that could help us in this case instead of this extreme
approach of randomly increasing timeouts and attempts for all the
platforms?
