Sorry i missed replying on this comment. We should not run into cases
where after issuing PSP command we do not get an interrupt. I would
prefer to avoid adding the timeout value. At least so far in all my runs
I have not came across this situation but it can happen ;). The tricky
part is, what should be the default timeout value. Depending on the user
inputs some commands can take long time.
