When a process tries to read/write a disconnected i2c device, it receives a signal (e.g. ctrl-c) and the kernel gets stuck.

This happen because though the wait_event_interruptible_timeout takes the
signals into account, the driver does not handle them.
We propose to change the wait_event_interruptible_timeout with
wait_event_timeout, leaving the signals to be handled in other points
on the upper layers.
