[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: use ACK polling for page-write completion

From: Kunal Zodape

Date: Mon Jun 01 2026 - 05:41:15 EST


The EEPROM write path currently waits a fixed 10 ms after each page
write to cover the maximum write-cycle time.

Replace the fixed delay with ACK polling so the driver can continue as
soon as the EEPROM finishes its internal write cycle. Since the SMU I2C
adapter used for these EEPROM accesses does not support zero-length
transfers, poll readiness with an offset-only dummy write.

Keep the existing 10 ms timeout as the upper bound for the polling loop.

Tested on MI200 (ALDEBARAN) with ras_eeprom_reset confirming clean
write/read-back with no I2C errors.
