This patch is simply too large and messy for me to consider reviewing
it. It needs to be split into smaller pieces. But honestly I don't see
that much redundancy in the driver, and as a matter of fact your patch
adds more lines than it removes.

This is unfortunate because some of the changes would still be good to
have. In particular having a single call to i801_check_post() would be
a nice clean-up.

As far as I can see, the current code already has these timeouts,
although maybe it wasn't the case when you first wrote this patch? This
was added by b3b8df9772 in November 2014.
