Re: [PATCH V7 3/6] i2c: qup: Transfer each i2c_msg in i2c_msgs without a stop bit

Hi,

This is correct.

So, there will not be a REP_START condition on the bus? I am sorry to
say that I can't accept this. A REP_START is a REP_START and nothing
else. There are devices which will get confused if there is no real
REP_START condition.

Without knowing the HW in detail, can't you implement I2C_M_NOSTART and
let the touchscreen driver use it via regmap? That would be the proper
way (from what I understand).
