Subject: [PATCH 1/3] platform/x86/intel/sdsi: Handle leaky bucket

To prevent an agent from indefinitely holding the mailbox firmware has
implemented a leaky bucket algorithm. Repeated access to the mailbox may
now incur a delay of up to 2.1 seconds. Add a retry loop that tries for
up to 2.5 seconds to acquire the mailbox.

Fixes: 2546c6000430 ("platform/x86: Add Intel Software Defined Silicon driver")
