In fact we are programming max slave stretch time  ie 25ms, comment
should be correcting.
Its maximum time for slave to complete read/write operation, if slave
is done with read/write then clock will not be stretched further, it
will be released immediately.
Hence I feel no harm in programming max timeout value.
Also determining correct slave stretch is very subjective and depends
on slave type as well.
