Subject: [Patch v6] i2c: pnx: Fix potential deadlock warning from del_timer_sync() call in isr

When del_timer_sync() is called in an interrupt context it throws a warning
because of potential deadlock. The timer is used only to exit from
wait_for_completion() after a timeout so replacing the call with
wait_for_completion_timeout() allows to remove the problematic timer and
its related functions altogether.

Signed-off-by: Piotr Wojtaszczyk <piotr.wojtaszczyk@...esys.com>
---
Changes for v6:
- Fixed typo in the patch subject

Changes for v5:
- Replaced wait_for_completion() with wait_for_completion_timeout().
- Removed unneded "alg_data->mif.timer" and its functions
- Request irq with devm_request_irq() as before the patch
- Renamed the patch and reword description for the new way to fix
  the warning

Changes for v4:
- Request irq with devm_request_threaded_irq() to prevent the warning
