[PATCH 1/7] I2c-nomadik: Fix the usage of wait_for_completion_timeout

From: Chuansheng Liu <hidden>
Date: 2012-11-15 10:52:36
Also in: linux-i2c

timeout is never < 0, so status = timeout is never getting run. This patch delete pointless
code. Could you show the regression? Thanks.

No, it is wrong. You need to update the status variable in the case of timeout.
Looking at the patch context, such code comes later.
But it causes regressions; without looking at the "later" code, we can't afford merging
this code now.
