[U-Boot] [PATCH] integrator: remove fragile delay loop from PCI code

The reference implementation of the PCI initialization code almost
everywhere contain this fragile loop of "a few usecs", and its
use of volatile variables to delay a number of bus cycles is indeed
uncertain.

Reading the manual "Integrator/AP Users Guide", page 5-15 it is
clearly stated:

"Wait until 230ms after the end of the reset period before
accessing V360EPC internal registers. The V360EPC supports the
use of a serial configuration PROM and the software must wait for
the device to detect the absence of this PROM before accessing any
registers. The required delay is a function of the PCI Clock, but
at the lower frequency (25MHz) is 230ms".

So let's simply wait 230ms per the spec.

This solves the compilation error that looked like this:
pci.c: In function ‘pci_init_board’:
pci.c:286:18: warning: variable ‘j’ set but not used
