I set it high because I suspect the time it takes to run pcm-test might be a lot
higher in some machines (even on mt8192-asurada-spherion, it takes 1m15s, but
only ~10% of the tests are actually running, since many of the PCMs are
disabled).

But I can lower it to, say, 3 minutes, and we can increase the timeout as
needed.

Thanks,
Nícolas
