OK. The definition of adapter->timeout changed in new kernel from 10 
millisecond to jiffies. So, change accordingly.

no it isnt.  the commit he refers to does things like:
-   adap->timeout = 1;
+   adap->timeout = HZ;
        ret = wait_event_interruptible_timeout(dev->wq,
-           !(in_8(&iic->sts) & STS_PT), dev->adap.timeout * HZ);
+           !(in_8(&iic->sts) & STS_PT), dev->adap.timeout);

we need to make the same change as our code is currently wrong:
+               if (!wait_for_completion_timeout(&iface->complete,
+                       adap->timeout * HZ)) {
+       p_adap->timeout = 5;
