[PATCH] i2c: designware_i2c Return -ETIMEDOUT for timeout errors

Change the return value for timeout errors in i2c-designware from 1 to
-ETIMEDOUT. Returning errors as negative values is standard practice in the
u-boot, which enhances error handling consistency across the codebase.
The current behavior can lead to silent errors when functions check for
negative return values to identify errors. For example, in
`dm_i2c_reg_read` from i2c-uclass.c, a timeout results in an uninitialized
value being returned, potentially causing unexpected behavior.
