So this assumes the requests are completed in order. Is this mandated

This is a mandatory device requirements in spec.

Checking timeout is fragile, what happens if the request are completed
after wait_for_completion() but before virtio_i2c_complete_reqs()?
We have discussed this before in v6.
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/virtualization/2021-March/053093.html.
If timeout happens, we don't need to care about the requests whether
really completed by "HW" or not.
Just return error and let the i2c core to decide whether to resend. And
currently, the timeout is statically configured in driver.
We may extend a device timeout value configuration in spec for driver to
use if there is actual need in the future.
