That's an error. The code waits for reset completition by polling
the pcistate register. That check times out after about 10 milliseconds.

Either the timeout is too short for your hardware or the check
is simply invalid.

The modebits debug output only exists in the 3.1 branch and slipped
in with

| Apply patch (requested by jonathan in ticket #1351):
| Add support to bge(4) for bcm5714, bcm5715, bcm5780/HT-2000 and
| bcm5752 chip variants.

The code is the same in -current, but without the output.
