Subject: [PATCH 08/13] i2c: nomadik: replace jiffies by ktime for FIFO flushing timeout

The FIFO flush function uses a jiffies amount to detect timeouts as the
flushing is async. Replace with ktime to get more accurate precision
and support short timeouts.

Somewhat related to this patch: while writing it, I noticed the total
timeout of flush_i2c_fifo() is 10 times the timeout. Without this
series, this means 10*200ms of busywaiting!

If you have an opinion on a more sensible option for this I could add a
patch to my V2. I don't know enough to pick a sensible value.

I'm unsure if it makes sense that the timeout of flush_i2c_fifo() is a
multiple of the transfer timeout. Does it make sense that those two
timeouts are correlated?

Big thanks for your review,

I have a *vague* memory of the timeouts for flushing needing to be longer
but I might be mistaken. This is probably a Srinidhi or even Sachin question...
Sadly I don't have their current mail addresses.
