Due to the relatively low priority of the isr_thread, when the CPU
load is high, the execution of sprd_i2c_isr_thread will be delayed.
After the waiting time is exceeded, the I2C driver will perform
operations such as disabling the I2C controller. Later, when
sprd_i2c_isr_thread is called by the CPU, there will be kernel panic
caused by illegal access to the IIC register. After pressure testing,
we found that increasing the IIC waiting time to 10 seconds can
avoid this problem.

Looks reasonable to me.
