[PATCH] rt2500usb: improve powersaving reliability

[Ondrej Zary]

According to my debugging, retrying 5 times (REGISTER_BUSY_COUNT) does not
provide enough time for the device to enter the required state. Sometimes,
the device needs 12 to 15 retries. Increase it to 20 to be sure.

This improves powersaving reliability but one problem still remains: power
state change sometimes fails completely - the bpp_state and rf_state get
stuck and cannot be changed anymore.
