timer clean up for i2c-keywest.c

Subject:  [PATCH] timer clean up for i2c-keywest.c
Date:  Mon, 7 Jul 2003 17:03:00 +1000
Cc:  linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

This patch changes i2c-keywest.c to use mod_timer instead of a
two-line sequence to compute .expires and call add_timer in 3 places.
Without this patch I get a BUG from time to time in add_timer.

Paul.
