>From ODM, scalar takes some time to activate panel during booting up,
it can't respond the UART commands within 1 seconds.
So, we add retry and wait 2 seconds for the response. But sometimes it
still fails to read the response.
During the boot up time, it sometimes takes more than 2 seconds to respond
the first command, so we enlarge the retry timeout from 2 seconds to 5
seconds to make sure we get the first response from scalar.
