I want to keep sending NOP_OUT commands repeatedly to get a response
from the UFS device, as per the existing method. To accommodate this method,
I propose increasing the total timeout duration by increasing the single timeout
value(defined by NOP_OUT_TIMEOUT) from 50ms to 100ms rather than
increasing the timeout value(defined by NOP_OUT_TIMEOUT) from 50ms to 1000ms
or increasing the retry count value(defined by NOP_OUT_RETRIES).

This is time measurement log confirmed on a real device with NOP_OUT_TIMEOUT is 100ms

1. normal operation
[    2.010156] [6:  kworker/u18:0:   76] ufshcd-qcom 1d84000.ufshc: [TEST] ufshcd_verify_dev_init: takes 1271 us, retries = 1 * 100ms.

2. issued log : exceeds 500ms
[    2.524525] [6:  kworker/u17:2:  141] ufshcd-qcom 1d84000.ufshc: [TEST] ufshcd_verify_dev_init: takes 533000 us, retries = 6 * 100ms.

And a certain UFS vendor has confirmed that the response to NOP_OUT command
can be delayed by up to 540ms in certain circumstances on a specific model.

BR,
Thank you.
