[PATCH 0/2] ipmi: ssif_bmc: Add support for adjustable response timeout

[Potin Lai]

The SSIF response is handled by a userspace application, which may exceed  
the default 500 ms timeout when the BMC or application is under heavy load.  
To provide flexibility, this patch introduces the `timeout-ms` property in  
the device tree binding, allowing platforms to adjust the response timeout  
as needed.  

If `timeout-ms` is not specified, the default response timeout remains  
500 ms, ensuring backward compatibility while giving platforms the option  
to configure a longer timeout when necessary. This prevents timeouts in
cases where userspace processing may take longer.
