Do you prefer a different patch just for styling?

It's true, it's just a random number. It can be zero as well, and we ask the
system to just sleep for that amount of time.
(1) usleep_range(sleep_min, sleep_min);
I noticed that it is a common practice to just put numbers that sounds
correct, indeed there are many random numbers (not commented at least, so they
are random numbers for the reader) in drivers/i2c/busses when they use this
function.
This magic number can be also something like:
(2) usleep_range(sleep_min, sleep_min * 1.10);
to give a 10% (again random choice) extra margin before starting to actively
poll.
But I agree that random numbers are not good. So I'm ok with option (1). I did
not try it, but I think is fine to give a zero delta (delta=max-min=0).

There is the assumption that the hardware is alive and what we read from
oc_getreg() is correct. With this assumption, when there is a timeout this
will happen:
1. STOP command (previous patch)
2. both TIP and BUSY will become zero at some point and we get out from the
loop
I can see now that there are cases when it may loop forever: for example if
the device is broken and it does answer always with 0xFFFF: we should not
break the host as well
I can fix this.

you are right!
