V4L/DVB (12938): SAA7164: Increase the firmware command timeout to avoid firmware errors.
The firmware typically responds in < 50ms and, via the interrupts and
deferred work queue the caller (blocked in the driver) is signalled very
efficiently. In a highly stressed system this can take many multiples
of seconds. So, we need a larger maximum timeout for busy systems.
