For this moment, we can solve the problem by using a hardcoded big

Is that an Acked-by on this patch which does the latter?


Yes, you can add my Acked-by. Let's see if other people still have different opinions.



Over the long term, I think the backend should provide that timeout
value and guarantee that its processing time should not exceed that
value.
If you mean that the spec should be changed to allow the virtio driver
to be able to program a certain timeout for I2C transactions in the
virtio device, yes, that does sound reasonable.


Due to changes in my work, I will pass my virtio-i2c maintenance to Conghui.

She may work on this in the future.
