_pF

(yes, it's fine to use CamelCase for unit suffixes, some of them historically
 use capital letters, but it's better to follow the actual unit spelling from
 Système International d'Unité)

Those TOTAL are not needed, just use a multiplier in place, this will be
basically the explicit number of "iterations" (yes, I know that the real
ones are 2x or 4x more).

> +#define DW_IC_BUSY_POLL_TIMEOUT_US		1100

Why not 1000?

(Yeah, I see the original value, but I think it makes no sense to go
 specifically with 1100).

And in this case it might be better to write it as (1 * USEC_PER_MSEC)
which makes it easier to get that this is 1 millisecond (in µs units).
