Sometimes engine reset fails because the engine resumes from an incorrect RING_HEAD. Engine head failed to set to zero even after writing into it. This is a timing issue and we experimented different values and found out that 20ms delay works best based on testing.
So, add a 20ms delay to let engine resumes from correct RING_HEAD.
