I'd name it just `allocate_command_timeout`, to follow the pattern of
the existing `read_poll_timeout` - but actually we might not even need
a new method (see below).

For consistency with `driver_write_area`, shall we name this
`driver_write_area_size`? And add a doccomment mentioning the returned
value is in bytes.

Nit: missing empty line.

Should the timeout be an argument? That way we can simply add it to
`allocate_command`, and invoke it with `Delta::ZERO` whenever we don't
want to wait. This is more explicit at the call site, removes the
need to have two methods, and removes the redundant size check from
`allocate_command` which is now done by this `read_poll_timeout`.

Shouldn't this be a member function of `CommandToGsp`? Please add some
basic documentation for it as well. As a general rule, all methods, even
basic ones, should have at least one line of doccomment.

The addition of `command_size` looks like an unrelated change - it is
not really leveraged until patch 6 (although it is still valuable on its
own). Can you move it to its own patch for clarity?
