In f81534_set_register()/f81534_get_register(), We'll use a while loop
with 10 times to get/set register and the timeout is 1000ms. So the
total minimum retry timeout is 1000x10=10s.

But when introducing the high baud rate support, 10s is not enough for
heavily loading. We had tested the minimum retry is 16~18s, so we
enlarge the F81534_USB_TIMEOUT from 1000 to 2000 and the total minimum
retry timeout is 20s.

Should I separate it as 2 patches? This issue is due to introducing
high baud patch.

Thanks
