Err... actually, the code is currently waiting for up to 100ms.

The thing is that msleep(5) will wait for a minimum time of 1/CONFIG_HZ.

If CONFIG_HZ is equal to 100 (the minimum), that means that it will
wait for 10 ms. So,

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++, msleep(5)) {
	...
}

Will actually wait up to 10*10ms = 100ms at the worse case. 

The patch is just keeping the maximum timeout equal for all setups, no
matter what's set at CONFIG_HZ.

Arbitrarily changing it to a lower value seems risky, as it may cause
regressions on some boards.

So, I'll just rename the define here, preserving 100ms as timeout.

Regards,
Mauro
