SCMI transports based on Shared Memory, at start of transmissions, have to
wait for the shared TX channel area to be eventually freed by the SCMI
server platform before accessing the channel: in fact the channel is owned
by the SCMI server platform until marked as free by the platform itself
and, as such, cannot be used by the agent until relinquished.
As a consequence a badly misbehaving SCMI server firmware could lock the
channel indefinitely and make the kernel side SCMI stack loop forever
waiting for such channel to be freed, possibly hanging the whole boot
sequence.
Add a timeout to the existent TX waiting spin-loop so that, when the
system ends up in this situation, the SCMI stack can at least bail-out,
nosily warn the user, and abort the transmission.
