A whole ms waiting for a command to complete? Wow, that's a lot of time
blocking the CPU. It looks like, perhaps, we should move to command
completion interrupts. The difficulty here is that we issue commands
from within the interrupt handler and, as such, can't
wait_for_completion().

Meanwhile, we will take the timeout increase I guess, otherwise NXP
won't have a working setup.
