Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] scsi: ufs: Increase the UIC command timeout to 5 seconds

Increase the UIC command timeout to avoid false and unnecessary
UFS errors printout. There are increasing number of false UIC command
timeout error events where the actual cause of the issues is interrupt
starvation. When looking into these issues closely, it was clear that
the UIC command completed successfully, but the CPUs were hogged by other
subsystems for more than 500ms, causing a false UIC command timeout.

Increase the UIC command timeout to 5 seconds to avoid false and
time consuming support calls so that we can shift the focus to where
the real issue would be.
