[PATCH] i2c: ocores: Use read_poll_timeout_atomic to avoid false poll timeouts
From: Martin Aberer
Date: Tue Mar 24 2026 - 10:18:03 EST
Replace the manual polling loop in ocores_wait() with the kernel helper
read_poll_timeout_atomic(). This simplifies the code and ensures robust
timeout handling. By using this helper, we avoid spurious timeout errors
that could occur under high CPU load or preemption, as the macro handles
timing and condition checks atomically.
