The patch improves the I2C write performance by 20 - 30 percent by
revising the sleep time in the ft260_hid_output_report_check_status()
in the following ways:
1. Reduce the wait time and start to poll earlier.
Sending a large amount of data at a low I2C clock rate saturates the
internal FT260 buffer and causes hiccups in status readiness, as shown
below in the log fragment. Aligning the status check wait time to the
worst case significantly reduces the write performance.

2. Do not sleep if the estimated I2C transfer time is below 2 ms since
the first xfer status query frequently takes around 1.5 ms, and the
following status queries take about 200us on average. So we usually
return from the routine after the first 1 - 3 status checks.
