Subject: [PATCH] fsi: Aspeed: Reduce poll timeout

The lengthy timeout previously used sometimes resulted in
scheduling problems, detailed below. Therefore reduce the timeout
to 500us. This timeout selection is supported by the benchmarks
collected below with various clock dividers. This is purely the time
spent polling (reported by ktime_get()).

div  1: max:150us avg:  2us
div  2: max:155us avg:  3us
div  4: max:149us avg:  7us
div  8: max:153us avg: 13us
div 16: max:197us avg: 21us
div 32: max:181us avg: 50us
div 64: max:262us avg:100us
