IIUC the longest it can take to transfer 4 bytes without timing out is
just under 50 ms. The i2c core use a default timeout of 1000 ms. So if
we first succesfully, but slowly manage to transfer quite a bit (well,
at least 80 bytes, almost but not quite timing out), and then time out,
i2c core won't try again.

I do not think this is a real concern, but if it is, we can increase the
adapter->timeout in our gmbus setup code.

BR,
Jani.
