Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net-next] ice: Fix incorrect timeout
in ice_release_res()

The commit 5f6df173f92e ("ice: implement and use rd32_poll_timeout for
ice_sq_done timeout") converted ICE_CTL_Q_SQ_CMD_TIMEOUT from jiffies
to microseconds.

But the ice_release_res() function was missed, and its logic still
treats ICE_CTL_Q_SQ_CMD_TIMEOUT as a jiffies value.

So correct the issue by usecs_to_jiffies().


Please add a brief "how verified" paragraph (platform + steps).
This is a unit-conversion fix in a timeout path; a short test description helps 
reviewers and stable backports validate the change.

Sorry for not being able to provide the verification information, as
I haven't actually encountered this issue.

The ice_release_res() is almost always invoked during downloading DDP
when modprobe ice.

IMO, it seems like that only when the NIC hardware or firmware enters
a bad state causing single command to fail or timeout (1 second), and
then here do the retry logic (10 senconds).

So it's hard to validate on healthy NIC, maybe inject faults in low level
function, such as ice_sq_send_cmd().

And you can add my:
