I think this gets a NACK from me.

mhi_read_reg_field() uses the controller defined accessor method 
read_reg().  readl_relaxed_poll_timeout() does not.  If, say, MHI was 
implemented over I2C, direct readl() accesses wouldn't be valid, and 
this would break.

Also, if the link ever goes down in the middle if the timeout, the 
controller read_reg() should detect that, but 
readl_relaxed_poll_timeout() would not.

I'm fine with this concept, but I think the implementation needs to be 
adjusted.
