[PATCH] ipmi: ssif: Add msleep in multipart test

From: Kunkun Li
Date: Mon Oct 25 2021 - 22:58:45 EST


During multipart test, cmd(6,7,8) or cmd(6,7,7) will
be sent continuously.

The pressure test found some BMC systems cannot process
messages in time, resulting in read_response continues to receive
error messages from i2c.
Retry mechanism will takes 10s, and finally set not support
multipart transmit.

So, to work around this,add msleep after sending cmd 6 and
cmd 7 respectively. The problem did not appear again in
pressure test.
