If someone sends a EC_CMD_REBOOT_EC to the EC, the EC will likely be
unresponsive for quite a while.  Add a delay to the end of the command
to prevent random failures of future commands.

NOTES:
* This could be optimized a bit by simply delaying the next command
  sent, but EC_CMD_REBOOT_EC is such a rare command that the extra
  complexity doesn't seem worth it.
* This is a bit of an "ugly hack" since the SPI driver is effectively
  snooping on the communication and making a lot of assumptions.  It
  would be nice to architect in some better solution long term.
* This same logic probably needs to be applied to the i2c driver.

Are you planning on doing that?

I'm willing to accept this as a stand-in.

Yes, I'll add to my TO-DO list to look how better solve this after the
remaining functionality that is present in downstream but is still not in
mainline gets merged.
