I am bit on the fence on that change, it is useful, and we have done 
similar things before using a command line parameter.

This is definitively useful when bringing up new systems where you might 
be sprinkling enough debugging messages that this pushes your message 
processing logic too close to the default 30ms timeout. For normal use 
cases, we really want the message timeout to be as small as possible for 
most SCMI traffic but if we want the timeout to be configurable, that 
might have have to be on a per-message basis.
