[PATCH v0 1/1] net/octeon_ep: fix increase mbox timeout

[Mohamed Feroz Abdul Majeeth]

Extend the mailbox timeout to 2500 ms in the Octeon driver
to ensure firmware responses are received, preventing premature
timeouts in mailbox request handling. This improves reliability
of control network APIs, addressing issues where the previous
timeout was too short for consistent operation.

Fixes: c836a7ba33ee ("net/octeon_ep: support mailbox between VF and PF")
