commit 0b884fe71f9ee6a5df35e677154256ea2099ebb8 upstream.
If the i2c device SCL bus being pulled up due to some exception before
message transfer done, the system cannot receive the completing interrupt
signal any more, it would not exit waiting loop until MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT
jiffies eclipse, that would make the system seemed hang up. To avoid that
happen, this patch adds a specific timeout for message transfer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
