This is not needed ;)

So the original comment was talking about timing on fastboot or IAP
command, but the original code had 50 msec wait here (30 from
elants_i2c_sw_reset plus the 20), thus already violating 40 msec rule
for IAP. Unless Elan folks can confirm it is OK to reduce the wait here
I'd prefer we kept it at 50. Firmware update is does not happen that
often anyway.

Thanks.
