    i2c-mpc: do not allow interruptions when waiting for I2C to complete · 1ab082d7

    The i2c_wait() function is using wait_event_interruptible_timeout() to wait for
    the I2C controller to signal that it has completed an I2C bus operation.  If
    the process that causes the I2C operation terminated abruptly, the wait will
    be interrupted, returning an error.  It is better to let the I2C operation
    finished before the process exits.
    
    It is safe to use wait_event_timeout() instead, because the timeout will allow
    the process to exit if the I2C bus hangs.  It's also better to allow the
    I2C operation to finish, because unacknowledged I2C operations can cause the
    I2C bus to hang.
