Previously the send_pcc_cmd() code checked if the
PCC operation had completed before returning from
the function. This check was performed regardless
of the PCC op type (i.e. Read/Write). Knowing
the type of cmd can be used to optimize the check
and avoid needless waiting. e.g. with Write ops,
the actual Writing is done before calling send_pcc_cmd().
And the subsequent Writes will check if the channel is
free at the entry of send_pcc_cmd() anyway.

However, for Read cmds, we need to wait for the cmd
completion bit to be flipped, since the actual Read
ops follow after returning from the send_pcc_cmd(). So,
only do the looping check at the end for Read ops.

Also, instead of using udelay() calls, use ktime as a
means to check for deadlines. The current deadline
in which the Remote should flip the cmd completion bit
is defined as N * Nominal latency. Where N is arbitrary
and large enough to work on slow emulators and Nominal
latency comes from the ACPI table (PCCT). This helps
in working around the CONFIG_HZ effects on udelay()
and also avoids needing different ACPI tables for Silicon
and Emulation platforms.
