[media] em28xx: use a better value for I2C timeouts
In the lack of a better spec, let's assume the timeout values compatible with SMBus spec: http://smbus.org/specs/smbus110.pdf at chapter 8 - Electrical Characteristics of SMBus devices Ok, SMBus is a subset of I2C, and not all devices will be following it, but the timeout value before this patch was not even following the spec. So, while we don't have a better guess for it, use 35 + 1 ms as the timeout. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <m.chehab@samsung.com>
