It's up to you ..

Kernel driver in use: i801_smbus
"grep i801_smbus /proc/interrupts" had no output, might explain something.
So because of lack of an interrupt I test on the latest kernel. I was using v3.10 , but there wasn't a large
difference in the i801 driver from v3.10 to v3.16. In the latest kernel the interrupt gets allocated, and the
test application I was using doesn't hang. So the problem is resolved ..
However, the ideas you had are valid, like adding the timeout .. Also there was no indication of a failed
interrupt allocation that I could see. I can see the code is suppose to catch if there's an error
requesting the interrupt, but I didn't get any of those messages, must have been another issues.
