[U-Boot] [PATCH V2] i2c: mxs_i2c: Squash endless loop

The endless waiting for a bit to be set can cause a hang, add a timeout so we prevent such situation. A testcase for such a hang is below. The testcase assumes a device to be present at address 0x50 and a device to NOT be present at address 0x42 . Also note that the "sleep 1" induced delays are imperative for this bug to manifest .
i2c read 0x42 0x0.2 0x10 0x42000000 ; sleep 1 ; \ i2c read 0x50 0x0.2 0x10 0x42000000 ; sleep 1 ; \ i2c read 0x42 0x0.2 0x10 0x42000000
The expected result of the above command is:
Error reading the chip. Error reading the chip.
While without this patch, we observe a hang in the last read from 0x42 precisely when waiting for this bit to be set.

Thanks!
Applied to u-boot-i2c.git
