Okay I'll check both time_left and transfer_was_done:
        time_left = wait_for_completion_timeout(&iproc_i2c->done, time_left);

        /* disable all interrupts */
        writel(0, iproc_i2c->base + IE_OFFSET);

        if (!time_left && !atomic_read(&iproc_i2c->transfer_is_successful)) {
                dev_err(iproc_i2c->device, "transaction timed out\n");

                /* flush FIFOs */
                val = (1 << M_FIFO_RX_FLUSH_SHIFT) |
                      (1 << M_FIFO_TX_FLUSH_SHIFT);
                writel(val, iproc_i2c->base + M_FIFO_CTRL_OFFSET);
                return -ETIMEDOUT;
        }
