If the i2c bus master is using DMA, you then DMA from the stack, which some architectures memory models do no allow. You have to use memory which comes from an alloc function. > + int ret; > + > + txd[0] = (u8)(reg >> 8); > + txd[1] = (u8)reg; > + > + msg[0].addr = client->addr; > + msg[0].flags = 0; > + msg[0].len = 2; > + msg[0].buf = txd; > + > + msg[1].addr = client->addr; > + msg[1].flags = I2C_M_RD; > + msg[1].len = len; > + msg[1].buf = val; You potentially have the same issue with val.
