Hi Rob, thanks for reviewing.

There is only one use of this function in my patchset.
I added this function after Jean-Christophe repeatedly suggested to add it.

Maybe the idea was to have the helper ready when the dt support it's
added to a drivers that use a "timeout" parameter.

If it's for better i can just get rid of this function.
I don't mind.
