sb/intel/common/spi: Increase flash erase timeout
This patch provides an increased timeout (60ms -> 1s) for SPI HW-sequencing flash erase operations. Without that the erase for MRC cache writing on siemens/mc_bdx1 sometimes goes wrong because the timeout stops waiting for flash cycle completion. It was found during continuous integration. Investigation showed that the used flash type takes sporadic (e.g. 5% of the test cycles) more time for completion of erasing operation if the ambient temperature increases. The measured time values are in range of data sheet of SPI flash. 60ms is a typical value. So increasing the value is necessary. tested on siemens/bdx1; measured time values with increased ambient temperature of flash were always smaller than worst case value of 1s.
