Found on new platforms that UART require more than 1 second to respond
commands in the first 10 seconds after booted.
dell_uart_get_scalar_status() is the first command we send to scalar and
this command should be more reliable than other commands, and make sure
we got correct response from scalar. So, add retry and increase the read
timeout to 2 seconds.

It looks like this happens during probe, does it affect boot speed?
Obviously it should only impact a limited set of hw platforms, just
curious.

Thanks,
Seth

No, it won't impact boot speed, msleep() could be re-schedule.
And yes, it only impacts those machines can't reply
dell_uart_get_scalar_status() in time.

Fixes a problem and should not have impact on other platforms than the targeted
one. Not acking for Disco since that goes EOL Jan-23. The derivative kernels
other then oem-osp1 do not need this and oem-osp1 get it separately.
