[PATCH v3] cros_ec_i2c: prevent i2c timeout for EC_CMD_FLASH_ERASE

[Wei-Ning Huang]

From: Wei-Ning Huang <wnhuang@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some EC chip has larger flash sector size which requires longer erase
time. During erase the CPU is usually stalled and can't even respond to
interrupts. We sleep a while to block any EC command from executing
during the flash erase period.
