When system is under load and there is an i2c transaction running following warning appears on the console:
[ 730.003617] omap_i2c 48070000.i2c: controller timed out [ 731.023643] omap_i2c 48070000.i2c: controller timed out This is because, the completion() call, which is done in bottom half of the interrupt handler, happens after the timeout period(1s) has elapsed for the wait_for_completion_timeout() in omap_i2c_xfer_msg(). The interrupt is raised within a second but due to system load (or other interrupts), the bottom half does not get scheduled within a second. Hence even though the interrupt has happened within required time frame, due to delayed scheduling of bottom half, spurious timeout errors are reported on the console and i2c controller is reset. i2c timeout is a rare condition, hence increase timeout to 60s in order to avoid reporting false timeout events under load.
