I /tend/ to say it's an application bug, because we are using the driver
heavily, and our sluggish devices often cause timeouts during setup.
Some colleague should have already slapped me otherwise. :)

Are you sure that a valid buffer and a valid size is passed to
rt_dev_read after the timeout (because those should be the reason for
EFAULT)? If yes, maybe you can post a simple demo for the effect.
