i2c: mxs_i2c: Squash endless loop
The endless waiting for a bit to be set can cause a hang, add a timeout
so we prevent such situation. A testcase for such a hang is below. The
testcase assumes a device to be present at address 0x50 and a device to
NOT be present at address 0x42 . Also note that the "sleep 1" induced
delays are imperative for this bug to manifest .
i2c read 0x42 0x0.2 0x10 0x42000000 ; sleep 1 ; \
i2c read 0x50 0x0.2 0x10 0x42000000 ; sleep 1 ; \
i2c read 0x42 0x0.2 0x10 0x42000000
The expected result of the above command is:
Error reading the chip.
Error reading the chip.
While without this patch, we observe a hang in the last read from 0x42
precisely when waiting for this bit to be set.
