Fair question. Honestly - I don't have Project Ara hardware, and as
far as I can tell it's not really possible to get any at this point
(the project's been dead for years and I haven't found boards
floating around anywhere).

So this was build-tested only - compiles clean, checkpatch clean -
but I haven't been able to actually trigger the timeout path on real
hardware. I based the fix on the existing gb_svc_intf_eject() usage
elsewhere in the SVC code, so the API usage should be correct, but I
can't vouch for the runtime behavior beyond that.

That said, if this driver is effectively unmaintained at this point
and changes without hardware validation aren't worth taking, I'd
appreciate knowing that as well - happy to defer to your judgment on
whether this is worth pursuing further.

Thanks,
Aditya
