Subject: [PATCH v2 5/7] soc: microchip: mpfs: use a consistent completion timeout

Completion timeouts use jiffies, so passing a number directly will
produce inconsistent timeouts depending on config. Define the timeout in
ms and convert it to jiffies instead.

Since a define is being created where one previously did not exist,
pick a suitable timeout duration. Most services will complete nearly
immediately, but those relating to image verification and re-programming
the FPGA take significant amounts of time. 30 seconds is a suitable
timeout for those situations, although most services will complete in
under 100 ms.
