C5515 I2C Timeout using CSL

I am using the CSL to interface to an I2C flash and I can single step through my code but I get CSL_I2C_TIMEOUT_ERROR when I don't single step.  Looking at the csl_i2c.c file I see that it is caused by the ICXRDY (I2C_write) or the ICRRDY (I2C_read) not being set.  I noticed in the example code that delays were added, see example code below.  Are these delays required and if they are, how long do they need to be?

    /* Write data */
    status = I2C_write(gI2cWrBuf, (CSL_I2C_DATA_SIZE + CSL_EEPROM_ADDR_SIZE),
                       CSL_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR, TRUE, startStop,
                       CSL_I2C_MAX_TIMEOUT);
    if(status != CSL_SOK)
    {
        printf("I2C Write Failed!!\n");
        return(result);
    }

    printf("I2C Write Complete\n");

    /* Give some delay */
    for(looper = 0; looper < CSL_I2C_MAX_TIMEOUT; looper++){;}

    /* Write data EEPROM page address for read operation */
    status = I2C_write(gI2cWrBuf, CSL_EEPROM_ADDR_SIZE, CSL_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR,
                       TRUE, startStop, CSL_I2C_MAX_TIMEOUT);
    if(status != CSL_SOK)
    {
        printf("I2C Write Failed!!\n");
        return(result);
    }

    /* Give some delay */
    for(looper = 0; looper < CSL_I2C_MAX_TIMEOUT; looper++){;}

    /* Read data */
    status = I2C_read(gI2cRdBuf, CSL_I2C_DATA_SIZE, CSL_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR,
                       TRUE, startStop, CSL_I2C_MAX_TIMEOUT, FALSE);
    if(status != CSL_SOK)
    {
        printf("I2C Read Failed!!\n");
        return(result);
    }

    printf("I2C Read Complete\n");
