Existing RNG data read timeout is 200us but it doesn't cover EIP76 RNG
data rate which takes approx. 700us to produce 16 bytes of output data
as per testing results. So configure the timeout as 1000us to also take
account of lack of udelay()'s reliability.

What "lack of udelay()'s reliability" are you concerned about?

For this I took reference from "drivers/char/hw_random/st-rng.c +33".
I think it's probably safe to take additional timeout rather than
relying on accuracy of udelay() based measurements. Specifically if
udelay() returns early than the expected delay (see:
include/linux/delay.h).
