i2c-mpc (fsl,timeout) and i2c-gpio (i2c-gpio,timeout-ms). I agree this
prop has no reason to be compatible-specific.

Feedback from dt-bindings and I2C host maintainers would be useful: what
should the property be named? Having the unit makes it self-descriptive,
which sounds like a good idea to me. timeout-usecs, timeout-us, another
option?

Thanks,
