The problem here is that we only have very outdated documentation for this
hardware and no real idea what changed since Apple bought PASemi and continued
using their i2c controller.
We know that 10ms (which used to be the original timeout iirc) is not nearly
enough and we also know that we need at least 25ms for clock strechting
(assuming nothing changed in the past 10+ years).
We just bumped it to 100ms to be safe after we very rarely got error
reports which we tracked down to timeouts and haven't gotten any reports
since.


I've addressed all your other comments for v3 which I'll send out in a few 
minutes.


Best,


Sven
