And in any case this is not the correct way to check for success or
failure.

Failure is defined by readw(i2c_dev->base + REG_CSR) & CSR_READY_MASK
being false.  The above does not check it after the final 1us delay.
You might as well not wait for that final 1us because it's literally
just wasting time the way you've coded it.

Or fix it to re-check for success after the loop completes.
