Thanks Bart.
I am not familiar with the UART drivers. I looked at some UART code and 
it could be interpreted as their choice of implementation.
During product development, the UART may be used. However, when the 
development completes, most likely the UART logging is disabled due to 
performance reason.

This change is to give flexibility to the SoCs to use the UART 
implementation of their choice and to choose the desired UIC command 
timeout without affecting the system stability or the default hardcoded 
UIC timeout value of 500ms that others may be using.
