The 5 seconds time out is way too long. On a system that doesn't have
functional i2c, this holds up boot for a long time as most i2c client
drivers try to initialise their device and fail. I realise you're not
changing the value, but we should pick a better default. 1 second?
Half a second?

Can we make this binding generic? It's not specific to aspeed's
hardware. Getting the value could even part of the i2c core.

I read the previous thread with Wolfram. I think this would still fit
with what Wolfram suggested, but please forgive my jetlagged brain if
I've missed something.

Cheers,
