There are chips which doesn't work perfectly in certain I2C operations. For example lp5523 led driver chip causes always I2C timeout when SW reset is commanded to the chip. Patches add a possibility to tell that this access is likely to cause time out and there is no need to wait normal time. For example in omap time out is 1 second and the bus is reserved all the time. By setting I2C_M_SHORT_TIMEOUT flag to i2c-message, adapter is requested to use shorter timeout.
