Do not use interruptible waits in an I2C driver; if a process uses
signals (eg, Xorg uses SIGALRM and SIGPIPE) then these signals can
cause the I2C driver to abort a transaction in progress by another
driver, which can cause that driver to fail.  I2C drivers are not
expected to abort transactions on signals.

Mark Greer seems to be unreachable now; the address in this driver no
longer works, and there is no maintainer entry.  This patch has been
run on my Cubox (Marvell Dove) for quite a number of months without
ill effect.
