The synchronous command completion path in ucsi_sync_control_common()
hardcodes a 5 second (5 * HZ) timeout when waiting for the PPM to signal
command completion via ACPI notification. This value matched
UCSI_TIMEOUT_MS when it was still 5000 ms, but it was not updated when
that macro was later raised to 10000 ms to fix PPM reset timeouts.
As a result, the two PPM communication paths are now inconsistent: the
polling path in ucsi_reset_ppm() respects the 10 second timeout, while
the event-driven completion path still uses 5 seconds. On machines where
the firmware is slow to respond during boot (e.g. some Lenovo ThinkPad
models such as the E14 Gen 7), commands sent after the PPM reset, such
as SET_NOTIFICATION_ENABLE and GET_CAPABILITY, can exceed 5 seconds and
cause UCSI initialization to fail with:
ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: error -ETIMEDOUT: PPM init failed
Once UCSI init aborts, USB-C PD negotiation never completes, which in
turn blocks USB-C dock enumeration since the dock depends on a successful
PD contract.
Replace the hardcoded 5 * HZ with msecs_to_jiffies(UCSI_TIMEOUT_MS) so
that both communication paths share a single, consistent timeout value,
and future adjustments to UCSI_TIMEOUT_MS are picked up automatically.

Hi Heikki,
Thanks a lot for the review!
One small thing in case you haven't queued this yet: the second Link
tag in the commit message,
Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2183790
has a typo in the bug ID (2183790 does not exist - kernel.org bugzilla
IDs are six digits). Please feel free to drop that line when applying;
the first link (bug 221740) is the relevant one.
Best regards,
Huang Wei
