Looking at it with a nights sleep, it's obvious the code path in
aux_native_write is ok. Is this a bit cleaner than the last patch?
Looks pretty good. I was thinking of something more like this (sorry
for the lack of a patch, I'm away from my source trees at the moment):
while (1) {
ret = radeon_process_aux_ch(dig_connector->dp_i2c_bus,
msg, msg_bytes, recv, recv_bytes, delay,&ack);
if (ret< 0)
return ret;
if ((ack& AUX_NATIVE_REPLY_MASK) == AUX_NATIVE_REPLY_ACK)
return ret;
else if ((ack& AUX_NATIVE_REPLY_MASK) == AUX_NATIVE_REPLY_DEFER)
udelay(400);
else if (ret == 0)
return -EPROTO;
else
return -EIO;
}
Yep, that looks cleaner.
My only thought was the pre-3.0 code had a limit to the number of
retries. Was that for a specific reason or is it ok to attempt to retry
indefinitely if we receive a DEFER ?
Thanks for tracking this down.
No worries. I learned quite a bit about some kernel internals and more
than a few quirks about apple hardware while muddling around.
