The I2C adapter driver is sometimes slow, causing the SCL line to
be stuck low for more than the stipulated SMBUS timeout of 25-35 ms.
This causes the client device to give up which in turn causes silent
corruption of data. So, disable the SMBUS timeout in the client device.

I assume this will be sent upstream through an arm tree.

Yes, I'm applying it right now.

Are you going to apply the patch for 4.15, or queue it up for 4.16 ?
I have been arguing with myself if this is a feature or a bug fix.
So far I queued the driver change up for 4.16, but I am open to
applying it to 4.15. Any thoughts ?

I was wondering that myself. I'm open to have it as a fix in 4.15. Or
maybe Peter can send the series to stable if he needs it in 4.14.

Peter, what do you think/want?
