[PATCH] i2c: bcm2835: Avoid clock stretching timeouts

[Stefan Wahren <stefan.wahren-eS4NqCHxEME@public.gmane.org>]

From: Eric Anholt <eric-WhKQ6XTQaPysTnJN9+BGXg@public.gmane.org>

The CLKT register contains at poweron 0x40, which at our typical 100kHz
bus rate means .64ms. But there is no specified limit to how long devices
should be able to stretch the clocks, so just disable the timeout. We
still have a timeout wrapping the entire transfer.

Hi,
just like "i2c: bcm2835: Set up the rising/falling edge delays" this is a
outstanding bugfix. Unfortunately i only have I2C slaves, which doesn't
stretch the clock. So test feedback is very welcome.
