[PATCH linux dev-4.10 v2] drivers (fsi): sbefifo: Add timeout for waiting for data

From: "Edward A. James" <eajames at us.ibm.com>

During a transfer, in the event that the SBE isn't running, the driver
will wait for data to appear in the FIFO forever. This doesn't work at
BMC boot time if any transfers are attempted (by OCC driver probing, for
example), as it will just hang the boot. So add a simple timeout
mechanism when the driver reschdules waiting for data to show up in the
FIFO.

Tested on witherspoon by rebooting the BMC successfully with chassis
power on.

Changes since v1:
 * Reset the wait_data_timeout field if we get data. If we get data, the SBE
   is running and we really shouldn't timeout.
