[Fix]
Increase the existing Thunderbolt MAC passthrough wait in igc probe path:
from 600ms
to 1000ms
Ubuntu already carries a SAUCE workaround (commit 534981aaa8) that uses
fixed delay timing. Newer Dell docks need a longer timing window.
Debug testing shows BIOS MAC update timing:
cold boot: MAC already correct at probe start
hotplug: MAC becomes correct at ~300-800ms after probe starts
Use 1000ms (observed 800ms worst-case + margin) to make hotplug reliable.
Upstream context:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210702045120.22855-2-aaron.ma@canonical.com/
(Upstream preferred polling over fixed delay; Ubuntu keeps minimal stable
fixed-delay workaround.)
