not as a config option, but a #define in the C file so that it is 
readable, the 10 makes not much sense at a glance.. but as I mentioned, 
it is just a nitpick.. it just helps to quickly figure out which are the 
timeouts used in the driver.. I mean we cant proceed with i2c_init or 
use it as i2c master (aka no point in using the driver) if that happens 
in the system rt?

print might e ok here, but at this point, we are looking to check what 
state we are in - master/slave if the state did not change aka 
controller is in slave mode, makes no sense in trying to dump data out.. 
it is doomed to failure :(.. quitting with an appropriate message?

lets see here -> interrupt status never gets cleared OR we are in slave 
mode.. my argument still stands in the case of master mode..
we can return error value for the caller of read_byte to handle, maybe 
we should be using that along with a print to scare the user ;) ?

Apologies on not being clear - I dont have a problem with the print as 
such, BUT, do we need a diff here which changes printf ("... to 
printf("... ? makes no reason why I need that for reliable OMAP4 
operation :D..
