You describe what you change, but not why this is needed. Why 10
retries? And shouldn't that be 20ms seeing the HZ/50 ?

Also, please use "i2c: octeon: " as prefix in the subject.

Thanks,

The timeout value is not changed, i2c-octeon is bound to Octeon SOC
which has CONFIG_HZ=100. I would prefer to use an absolute value for
a timeout that should not change with the value of CONFIG_HZ.

For the retries, I'll change it to 5 which is what many i2c drivers
use. I thought the reason to use a non-zero value for retries might
be obvious, like "retry in case of a failed operation" ?!

With the updated driver I do not see retry attempts, but it might
not hurt the robustness of the driver to benefit from i2c core
retry logic, or am I missing something?

OK.
