[PATCH] firmware/raspberrypi: raise timeout to 3s

Raspberry firmware driver expected said firmware to answer by 1 second.
That seems to work fine for most cases, but with
RPI_FIRMWARE_NOTIFY_DISPLAY_DONE, that IIUC may need to reconfigure a
monitor, i end up reliably having timeouts:

Raising the timeout to 3 seconds (ought to be enough®) doesn't trigger
timeouts anymore for me and proceeds to the next failure.
