The errata 1.153 workaround is busy waiting on XUDF bit in interrupt
context, which may lead to kernel hangs. The problem can be reproduced
by running the bus with wrong (too high) speed.

a) timeout without using an actual delay is not a good idea -
consider each OPP - we can go upto 1ghz on 3630,
the actual time for 10000 iterations will depend on the MPU speed.
Well, I could calculate the timeout value based on current operating speed,
I guess. Or a delay. Perhaps OMAP_I2C_TIMEOUT can be used here?
it might be an overkill trying to generate counter based on opp speeds.
wondering if this delay is required in the first place..
Moiz Sonasath / Vikram P, (commit cd086d3a) could probably comment?
Ref: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg15317.html
b) how did you arrive at the 10k iteration limit?
It was random, but then it seemed ok considering the l4 latency.
I had guessed this is an emperical value. It will be good to know the
exact rationale on why a timeout will happen, else we will have all kind
of questions pending trying to figure out if a timeout happened.
