Do not use interruptible waits in an I2C driver; if a process uses signals (eg, Xorg uses SIGALRM and SIGPIPE) then these signals can cause the I2C driver to abort a transaction in progress by another driver, which can cause that driver to fail. I2C drivers are not expected to abort transactions on signals.
